This month-long exhibit in July is presented by the Society of Arts & Crafts (SAC’s), a non-profit, 501(c)3 charitable organization committed to the advancement of art education and art appreciation. The event will be exhibited at Stonehenge Gallery, one of Montgomery, Alabama's premier art galleries/art frame shops. See the SAC's and Stonehenge menu items at the top of the page for more information about these organizations. The 9 photo group and the staffs at the Society of Arts and Crafts (SAC's) and Stonehenge Gallery are supplying the labor to make this event happen.
Submission is open to all photographers (professional and amateur), working in all forms of photography. Four categories are offered.
1. Color
2. Black and white
3. Alternative process
4. Manipulation (digital and film)
The cost to enter is $25. You may enter up to three images for that fee. There is no theme for this exhibit. There is no time limit for when you produced your work. Let's elevate photography as fine art. Show us your best!
Images previously displayed in-gallery at any Society of Arts and Crafts & Stonehenge Gallery photo competitions are not eligible for this competition and should not be submitted.
Awards: Best in show — $1,000
Best in category — $500 (four awards, one for each category)
Merit award — $250 (four awards, one for each category)
Grand total — $4,000 in cash awards!
The exhibit runs July 10-28, 2021, with an opening reception at Stonehenge Gallery on Saturday, July 10, at 5:30 p.m. If COVID prevents us from holding an in-person reception, we will hold a virtual reception. One way or the other, we will meet to celebrate and present awards! The Stonehenge Gallery will be open for in-person viewing.
We are honored to have Sarah Kennel, curator of photography at the High Museum in Atlanta, Georgia, as the juror for this exhibit. See the "Meet the Juror" page for more information on our judge. Ms. Kennel will also give a juror's talk after the opening reception, time to be announced.
When the exhibit at Stonehenge Gallery closes photographers may opt in for a second exhibit of their work at the International Arts Center, the Huo Bao Zhu Gallery, at Troy University in Troy, Alabama. The opportunity to opt in for this exhibit is available during the entry procedure. Exhibit organizers will arrange to get photographs to Troy and returned them to Stonehenge Gallery for final shipping after the show in Troy closes. (See the "Troy Exhibit" dropdown menu at the top of the browser window for more information.)
If your photo is selected for the exhibit, you may ship it, matted and framed as directed in the "Submissions guidelines" dropdown menu. Additionally, matting and framing are available from Stonehenge's frame shop. Contact them directly via the information/website link listed under the "Stonehenge Gallery" dropdown menu. Note: There is an earlier deadline for shipping images to be framed by Stonehenge. See the "Calendar" tab at the top of this home page and in the sidebar for date details.
