UPDATE: We’ve announced the winners!

Starting right out of the gates after joining Exposed DC, Instant DC is launching an open call for photography by D.C.-area photographers starting now through September 1, 2014.

We are partnering with the Washington School of Photography, which is graciously hosting a free opening night celebration October 3, and showcasing the exhibition for an entire month. More details about the opening night soon.

Highlights and rules for submitting:

1. Exposed DC, Instant DC, and the Washington School of Photography will print, frame, and hang your image(s) should they be selected, so all you have to do is pay the submission fee of $25 for up to 4 images. You may submit an unlimited number of batches at 4 for $25.

2. Selections will be chosen by a panel of judges including photography professor E. Brady Robinson and photojournalist Keith Lane. All judging is blind, winners will be notified after the judging process is over, in early September 2014.

3. Submit your best photographs. While you need to be a resident of the Washington D.C. metro area, there is no category delimiter, geographic requirement, or theme for this call, each piece will be judged on its own artistic merit, as with past Exposed DC shows.

4. Images must be at least 1024 pixels on the shortest side. Your image may be disqualified if you cannot provide a high enough resolution image for printing and framing.

5. All framed works will be on sale for $250 at the exhibition, this will be a great opportunity to support local photographers and take home a unique one-of-a-kind piece of art. The Washington School of Photography and Exposed DC will share 40% commission on sales.

6. Prizes will go to the first, second, and third place winners, with five honorable mentions. Prizes may be both sponsored gifts as well as monetary up to $500 in value.

So what are you waiting for? Good luck!

Exposed DC is pleased to announce its 8th annual Exposed DC Photography Show at Long View Gallery, from March 19 to April 6, 2014. After seven wonderful years with DCist, we’re now closing in on our first year since we launched as an independent, year-round venture last June, and we’re proud to say it’s been a success. We’re working hard to cultivate the local photography community, from hobbyist to professional, with our website that features interviews with local talent, reams of informational guides for everything from studio rentals to photography classes, and a calendar highlighting every photography event in the region. We’ll continue to build on this community that our annual exhibition has created through exciting new features and events in the coming year.

Our 49 winning photographs were chosen from a contest for their unique view of the Washington area – not as a political venue or tourist destination, but as a place where we live and work and love every day. Six of those photographs will be awarded our inaugural Best in Show award and $100 prize, chosen by a panel of distinguished metro-area photojournalists, and made possible by the Corcoran College of Art + Design.

Our opening reception will be held in Long View’s newly expanded 9,000 square foot gallery space. Local businesses will complete our celebration of everything Washington, with beer from the new Bluejacket Brewery, wine from Boxwood Winery, Cavanagh Family Imports and A&M Imports, and a delicious selection of bites from Founding Farmers and Farmers Fishers Bakers, Tel’Veh Wine Bar, and Everlasting Life Vegan Restaurant. We’ve invited DJ Sequoia and v:shal kanwar back to spin tunes.

Tickets are $15 in advance, with limited $20 tickets at the door. 

Join us for a free after party in The Passenger’s theater. 8 p.m. to close, cash bar.

A full-color Exhibition Program with the 2014 winners will be available for $10. The special issue 5th Anniversary Magazine from 2011 will also be available for $25. At the reception only, guests can purchase them together for $30.

Long View Gallery is located at 1234 9th St. NW, just a few blocks from the Mt. Vernon/Convention Center Metro.  All photographs displayed will be for sale.  Regular gallery hours are Wednesday-Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sunday, 12 to 5 p.m. Free.

The 2014 Exposed DC Photography Show is a Ten Miles Square LLC production.

When Vogue calls and asks you to do a full editorial spread of Derek Zoolander for the September issue, we expect the first thing you will do is jump up and down for joy. The second is to wonder, “Where should I take him?” You will need a proper place to photograph Blue Steel and all of its glory, so we’ve created this handy guide of studio rental locations in the D.C. area. All we ask is that you tell Anna Wintour we said Hi.
