The Center for Fine Art Photography invites photographers working in all mediums, styles and schools of thought to participate in its exhibitions and activities. Contemporary, traditional, avant garde, creative and experimental works that include new processes, mixed techniques, and challenging personal, emotional or political statements are welcome.

Theme: Abstractions
Emphasizing a derived image, where the essential character is only a stylized or symbolic visual reference to the original. Art that depicts real forms in a simplified or reduced way - keeping only an allusion of the original natural subject.

Eligibility: The exhibition is open to all professional and amateur, domestic and international photographers working with digital or traditional photography or combinations of both.
Juror: Gary Chassman is the founder and president of Verve Editions, an independent producer of photography, art, illustrated books, and related museum exhibitions. He was publisher of Callaway Editions, and was previously affiliated with Aperture Books and Macmillan. He also served as Editorial Director of Magnum.
This is an excellent opportunity for photographers with a body of work seeking interest by a renowned publisher.
