Solas Photography Prize 2015

http://solasprize.com The award is a collaboration between Source Magazine and the Gallery of Photography Ireland. Source is a photography magazine based and published in the UK since 1992. The Gallery of Photography was established in 1978 and is the national centre for photography in Ireland. Both entities are publicly-funded, non-profit arts organisations. The Solas Prize is an award for contemporary photography, comprising an individual first prize of $10,000, second prize of $1,000 and third prize of $500. The Winners’ work will be shown in The Solas Awards Exhibition at Gallery of Photography Ireland in December 2015 and simultaneously published in Source with specially-commissioned essays. In addition, work by Irish photographers, or work made in Ireland, is eligible for the Solas Ireland Awards. Three winners will have their work included in the Solas Awards Exhibition. They will each receive a 3-month Artist’s Residency at Gallery of Photography Ireland and a three person exhibition at Fotohof, Salzburg in 2016 including a travel and production bursary. Additionally, twenty-five artists will be selected for online exhibition on the Solas website. Everyone submitting will receive a free one-year digital subscription to Source Magazine. The winners will be selected by an international panel of five judges. The deadline for submissions is 19th July 2015. HOW TO ENTER Register online and pay the $30 entry fee for the award. You will be taken to your upload page where you can submit and edit your entry. Artists can submit up to 12 images from a body of work, which does not have to be a single project. We also require a short introductory text. See below for more information on the submission process. WHAT TO SUBMIT The aim of the Solas Prize is to discover new work. All photographic processes are welcome and submissions are invited from artists for whom photography is their whole or partial practice. Applications should be accompanied by a short text of up to 400 words introducing the work you are submitting. This text must be in English (the common language for the judges) but please note, we wish to encourage submissions from photographers for whom English is not their first language. The text is to help the judges, it will not be judged for the quality of its written English.
