Head On 2008
Head on Foundation invites photographers to submit works to the 2008 photographic portrait competition. Prizes will be awarded for the best 3 images. The selection of images will be based on the power of the photograph rather than the celebrity of the subject or photographer. Images could range from film to digitally produced using any photographic technique in colour and/or black & white.
Further prizes will be awarded to images selected by ‘The Critic’ and for ‘People’s Choice’. Finalists’ work will be selected by Sandra Byron, Byron-McMahon Gallery director, Stephen Dupont, multi award winning photographer and Moshe Rosenzveig, Head On curator. The ‘Critic Prize’ will be selected by Robert McFarlane, the Sydney Morning Herald photography critic.
Total value of prizes is approximately $32,000. Head On finalists will be exhibited at the Australian Centre for Photography, Sydney 1 May – 7 June 2008 and then at the M16 Artspace, Canberra 9 – 22 July 2008 as part of Vivid National Photography Festival. The deadline for submissions is Friday 11pm, 28 March 2008.
