Photowork celebrates its 32nd year in 2019, and BAC is proud to welcome James A. Ganz, Senior Curator of Photography at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles as this year’s juror. 

The show embraces reinvention, wherein artists provide a juxtaposition of traditional styles and cutting-edge practices in dynamic imagery. The show celebrates photography's role as fine art and prescient social commentary. Winners in the past have spanned the gamut of photographic output from small to large format cameras, pinhole cameras, silver gelatin prints, pigment prints, chromogenic prints, and everything in between.

Entries may be 2D or 3D. 2-dimensiona works cannot exceed 72 on any side; 3-dimensional works must fit within a parameter of 60 inches x 30 inches x 24inches.
