Announcing the InstantDC 2014 Open Call Winners

September 10, 2014 By exposeddc

IDC2014winners

A huge thanks to the hundreds of local photographers that submitted their images to our InstantDC Open Call, our first project teamed up with the IDC crew.

We’ve been working hard with judges Keith Lane and E. Brady Robinson to select the top images for the exhibit at the Washington School of Photography, which is graciously hosting a free opening night celebration in their huge gallery space on October 3, and showcasing the exhibition for an entire month! We’re still sorting out the opening night arrangements, so more on that later.

Congratulations to our winners, whose names and winning photographs can be found after the jump. You’ll be notified by email with more instructions soon! The Best in Show selections will be announced closer to the show, so stay tuned for that too.

If you are interested in sponsoring the InstantDC 2014 Show, it’s not too late! Email us at info[at]exposeddc.com for more information.

And now, drumroll please – your InstantDC 2014 Open Call winners:

Announcing the 2014 Exposed DC Contest Winners

January 15, 2014 By exposeddc

2014_show_graphic10We hoped that the many supporters in the photography community we’ve cultivated over the years would follow us when we decided to launch Exposed DC on its own, as a year-round entity. We’re relieved to say: Boy did you ever! A contest with over 200 contestants and 560 entries can be a tough one to judge, but our team had an amazing time going through all your visions of Washington area life and culture. Our sincere thanks to everyone who participated, and we hope you’ll keep up with us throughout the year.

Before we get too far: Don’t forget to join us tonight for our January meetup, and to celebrate our 2014 winners, at The Hamilton at 6 p.m. We hope to see lots of new faces!

Yes, the winners of our contest, which will be exhibited in the 8th annual Exposed DC Photography Show, are after the jump. Congratulations to those chosen this year; you’ll be notified by email with more instructions soon. Your photos are now in the hands of our team of special judges: Lucian Perkins, Jacquelyn Martin, Dan Westergren, Nancy Walz, and Jamie Rose. Five of you will win their Best in Show award, which comes with a $100 cash prize sponsored by the Corcoran College of Art + Design. Focused on the idea of direct and intensely creative education, the Corcoran College of Art + Design is the only accredited college of art and design in the museum and college-rich environment of Washington, D.C. We’ll announce these prizes closer to the show.

The Exposed DC Photography Show will open on March 19, 2014 at the newly renovated Long View Gallery, and we’ll take over all 9,000 square feet with our celebration of Washington, D.C. You’ll enjoy featured beers from the new and already highly praised Bluejacket DC, made onsite at their Navy Yard warehouse. Grab a selection of tasty snacks from local restaurants, including Founding Farmers and Farmers Fishers Bakers, dedicated to eco-friendly and sustainable dining, and mouthwatering flavors from Tel’Veh Wine Bar‘s Executive Chef Dimo Kolouas. Our popular table-turner is back again this year, so you can enjoy all this goodness with mood-setting music from DJ Sequoia and v:shal kanwar.

The fun doesn’t end at the gallery this year. After you’re done gazing at all the art you can handle, walk a couple blocks over to The Passenger, which is hosting our first-ever afterparty in their theater.

Additional and much appreciated support for the Exposed DC Photography Show comes from some D.C. area businesses that have helped build up the photography scene that exists today:

  • The Washington School of Photography in Rockville, Md. offers classes, workshops, professional programs, as well as regular events, and all the facilities a photographer could need.
  • The Capital Photography Center offers classes with tons of individual attention and hands-on experience in the field.
  • HOIST Studio in Fairfax, Va. offers rental space and hosts resident photographers who use the studio as their private workspace.
  • The Historical Society of Washington, D.C. collects, interprets, and shares the history of our nation’s capital, including over 100,000 historic images of Washington. They also photography workshops and neighborhood tours and develop exhibitions on the city’s history.

If you are interested in sponsoring the Exposed DC Photography Show, it’s not too late! Email us at info[at]exposeddc.com for more information.

Tickets to the March 19 opening from 6 to 10 p.m., which includes the exhibit, snacks and open bar, are available for purchase now for $15. Limited tickets may be available for $20 at the door, but we always sell out so don’t be left in the cold!

Challenge Accepted: America

July 8, 2013 By exposeddc

Despite the admittedly short notice, you did a bang-up job in our first Photo Challenge, to sum up what America means to you in a single image. Our staff debated last night and picked our favorites, posted below. You can check out all the submissions right here.

Do you think we left out a top notch image? Maybe you have an idea for a future challenge to exercise your skills? Let us know in the comments.

Announcing the 2013 Winners

January 16, 2013 By exposeddc

The judging is done. The arguments for and against this photo and that photo are now forgotten. The curating is finally over. The winning images for the seventh annual DCist Exposed Photography Show have been decided!

Our incredibly talented cadre of photographers submitted nearly 600 images to the contest. Somehow, we were able to narrow it down to just 42 winning shots. As in years past, we were so impressed with the fantastic diversity of work depicting the place we all call home — take some time to click the link above and peruse them all.
