Telling a Story with Images
There is no initial entry fee for this competition. Only those series accepted will pay an entry fee.
The theme: In this occasion WPGA wants to select images that are telling a story. It can be a real story or a fiction created by the imagination of the artist.
The theme is open: a story of clouds and storms, a love affair, a political statement, your family party or the houses of your neighbourhood. It could be a fairy story digitalized by you imagination, or the life of the natives in Peru. Or perhaps it is the story of a wedding, the aftermath of a natural disaster, or illustrative images of your last trip in India.
There are no limitations to your work provided you’re submitting a story with images or a coherent body of work in terms of thematic displayed. Telling a story with images is interacting with the viewers to show a mood, an environment, a editorial statement or a particular event.
Both color and black and white (including duotones, toned, and all kind of alternative processes) will be accepted to be screened. Series can also be a mix of images in black and white and color. All kind of processes, including digital manipulation will be accepted.
The minimum of photographs composing each series is 3 and the maximum is 8. Series will be accepted as individual images or in the form of polyptych or similar sequence or panels of several images (tryptych, tetraptych, pentaptych, hexaptych, heptaptych or octaptych, for 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 images in panels, respectively). The series will be screened as a hole, although it is recommended that each image has its own artistic value. Technical, thematic and creative coherence in the body of work will be a plus.
