SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Any photographer who is a current resident of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, British Columbia, or Alaska is invited to submit work for consideration. Please ensure that your CAFE profile reflects residency in one of these locations.
Submitting to this Call for Entries requires exactly 10 images (no watermarks) from a single series or body of work created within the last five years. If an applicant has previously been featured in the Drawers, the submission must be of new or different work. Submitted images must be the same as the original prints intended for inclusion in the Drawers. Absolutely no substitutions will be permitted.
Please include a concise artist statement, CV or resume, and details about each print including print type/medium, size, and price.
If accepted, works must be delivered to the gallery matted and/or mounted. Due to the physical dimensions of each drawer, the matted or mounted sizes of accepted works are not to exceed 20” x 24” x 1.5" when stacked together.
All prints selected for the Drawers are eligible for sale at the artist's request, with a commission (50%) retained by Blue Sky. Artists who are currently represented by a gallery are asked to ensure that a Drawers entry does not infringe on any standing agreements before making a submission. Blue Sky will not be responsible for negotiating commissions with an artist’s representation.
Deadline for submissions is 10:59 PM (PST), Friday, December 29, 2017. There is no entry fee. Only one entry per artist is permitted. Blue Sky cannot respond to inquiries about the status of a submission, nor is the juror able to offer feedback or reasoning for rejected submissions.
Accepted artists will be notified no later than February 1, 2018. Works must be received at Blue Sky to be deposited into the Drawers no later than 5:00 PM on March 23, 2018. Accepted works will debut in the Drawers to the public on First Thursday, April 5, 2018—the beginning of Portland Photo Month.
