Inviting Student Photography Submissions for NYC Exhibit
Deadline April 1
Imagining America and the Joy of Giving Something, Inc. invite students to submit photographs by April 1, 2015 for an exhibit about our diverse American identity in Manhattan’s Broadway district. Considering the complicated DNA made visible by the mapping of the human genome, we invite photography about student's family and cultural roots and how they think of their own diverse American identity in terms of race and ethnicity.
The exhibit will coincide with the April 9-26 musical production of Betsy!, which tells the story of a Puerto Rican Latin Jazz singer forced to confront family secrets about her Scotch-Irish and Appalachian roots. Roadside Theater and Pregones Theater/Puerto Rican Traveling Theater co-created the musical, and the Joy of Giving Something Foundation is generously sponsoring this exhibit.
Why Participate?
Twenty-five students will have their photographs printed and physically exhibited during the April 9-26 run of Betsy! at Pregones Theater/Puerto Rican Traveling Theater (304 West 47th Street). In addition to receiving three tickets to Betsy!, these students will be invited to a reception and receive recognition in the show playbill. All photos received will be showcased on websites and social media of the participating organizations, which boast national audiences of more than ten thousand people.
Photography Submissions
To participate, students may upload 1-3 images (saved as JPEG or JPG files, 1600 x 1200 minimum pixel resolution, and no larger than 5MB) and a short artist statement (less than 300 words) about the connection between your image(s) and the exhibit themes.
Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis. April 1, 2015 is the latest date to submit. Special consideration will be given to high school and college students in New York.
