JUROR STATEMENTS:
"James Payne and I share a passion for photography and particularly portraits. When curating, I draw from my background in art history and tend to value work that I feel will resonate over time. Regarding portraits, I am looking for emotionally charged images that capture one's unique personality in a frame. At best, a great portrait can inspire the viewer to ask questions.”

“Acting as a juror was refreshing because it reminded me that there are many unique ways that we see other people. The entries were diverse, accomplished, and made me thankful for the opportunity to see many intriguing portraits."

Theme-
“What does a portrait look like in the 21st Century? Today everyone with a smartphone is a photographer, and many young people are taking hundreds of selfies a week, and more people seem interested in analog photography and alternative processes dating back to the 1800’s.
Portrait photographers James Payne (American Portraits) and Michael Rababy (American Bachelor) would like to see your creative version of the modern portrait (shot after 2000)”.
5% of artist entry fees goes to the charity of the curators. Michael Rababy and James Payne have chosen the American Diabetes Association.
