Women in Photography International Honourable Mention!
02nd June 2010
I have had six of my photos placed in a juried competition for WIPI. This was the brief: "Choose images that made either a personal or public impression, brought you joy, awareness, caused pain or tugged on your heart strings -- how you see the world in which you live, your home, your work, your friends, the world around you. Weather, events, parties, Think if the Edward Steichen’s Family of Man. This is a capsule of time representing and showcasing women's work during the years 2000-2010."
In an effort to comply to the above as much as possible, I tracked down the book from the exhibition and had a good look at it. I notice that all reference to this "Family of Man" exhibition suddenly disappeared upon announcement of the winners - in its place I received this "Instead of the original stated 50 image Honorable Mention, we expanded the Honorable Mention section to 100 to bring a wider variety of style and scope to cover a 10 year period.
Jurors received only the images with a number, no titles or names. Selection is made solely on the image itself. Check out the placement winner Presentation Galleries online!"
You can see them HERE and judge for yourself. I would be most interested in email feedback.
P.S. - my entries are on page 8 and I found the book through "Alibris" - a very usual second hand source!
