Unlike other awards that present one overall winner with a lump monetary sum, Beers.Lambert aims to assist as many artists as possible by awarding artists based on category, and judging artists apart from others working within the same discipline, and not against those working outside of one's particular discipline. In this regard, up to 8 winners will each walk away with a monetary prize and become part of the growing award-package. The 4 primary award recipients will each receive $1,000USD and the 4 secondary award recipients will each receive $250USD. Furthermore, all 8 of the awarded artists (primary and secondary) works will be exhibited at Beers.Lambert Contemporary in 2013, and their work will be featured extensively on our website and other such promotional material. One or more of the awarded artists will be offered a solo exhibition with the gallery in the Fall 2013 exhibition program.

That is exactly what we’re looking for in your images submitted for “Picture This”. The concept is to showcase broad mix of genres and processes, which we believe, will create one of our most compelling exhibits to date. We want to see what you photograph and how you process those images. Portraits, documentary, landscapes, architecture, nature, wildlife, modernist and traditional trends and processes. Digital, film, alternative process, pinhole, iPhone, multi-media (as long as it’s a photograph), anything goes. We suggest you submit a variety of subject matter, rather then a series of the same. It’ll benefit you and offer a greater chance of your images selected for the exhibit. More Details: www.mplsphotocenter.com/Exhibits/Exhibit-Competitions.php | | | | | |
