Slow Exposures Photographic Art Exhibition Issues Call For Entries
It would take some time to list all the Cowetans who have won prizes during the past five years at the annual Slow Exposures Photographic Art Exhibition. And Slow Exposures has excellent jurors and very high standards for even having an entry accepted, especially as the word has gotten out and submissions are coming in from all over the USA. Slow Exposures have also highly honored a particular Coweta photographer, Paul Conlan of Newnan, by placing him on their board and putting him in charge of their website last year. Conlan has recently issued the Call For Entries for the 2008 Slow Exposures, which reads, verbatim, as follows:
SlowExposures 2008
A Juried Photo Exhibition Celebrating the History and Character of the Rural South
Weekends, September 19th through September 28th
Pike County, Georgia

"SlowExposures," the nationally recognized photography exhibition that underscores the diversity and complexity of the rural South, is currently inviting fine art photographers to apply to this year's sixth annual event by submitting their photos taken in the "Southeast" and/or "West Central Georgia " to a distinguished panel of professional photo jurors by Sunday, June 15th.
Jurors Jamie Allen (George Eastman House, Rochester , NY ) and Mike Smith ( East Tennessee State University , Johnson City , TN ) will choose a limited number of images from the scores of images that are submitted by mid-June. These will later be showcased in the annual exhibition that opens on Friday, September 19 for two weekends in the picturesque town of Concord , Georgia, in bucolic Pike County , an hour's drive from the Atlanta airport.
"SlowExposures 2008" features two categories: "Photographs of the Southeast" can include images taken anywhere in the Southeastern United States . "Photographs of West Central Georgia" can include images taken anywhere in Bibb, Coweta, Crawford, Harris, Heard, Lamar, Meriwether, Monroe, Muscogee, Spalding, Talbot, Taylor, Troup and Upson Counties in addition to Pike County, home of "SlowExposures."
The deadline for submissions is June 15, 2008. Photographers may enter up to four images in each category for a nonrefundable fee of $30 per category with checks written to the Pike Historic Preservation, beneficiary of SlowExposures. Final winners will share up to $2,000 in awards at the September show.
