Photographers and their websites

Hello! I would like to share this website I came across which may or may not have already been on everyone's radar. It has a lot of people we know in it! It is the Museum of Contemporary Photography which is located in Chicago. It focuses on photographers in the Midwest. I went through the photographers and found the ones I was most interested in, and looked at their individual websites to give me ideas for my own. It also had everyone's biographies to read.

Footprint International Print Competition 2010
	Footprint International Print Competition 2010
May 20 - August 14, 2010 Opening Reception: Thursday, May 20, 4 - 7pm Entry Deadline: April 2, 2010
Download "footprint" prospectus
About the competition: The Center for Contemporary Printmaking is delighted to announce the 2nd Biennial Footprint International 2010: a competition and exhibition for fine-art prints that are exactly one foot square. The square format was uncommon in art until the advent of 20th-century abstraction. Rectangular horizontal and vertical shapes for landscape and portraiture, respectively, were, and in fact still are, the norm. For one thing, composing in the square is an artistic challenge. Footprint International 2010 presents an opportunity for contemporary printmakers to address the square in 12 inches by 12 inches (30.5 x 30.5 cm). Footprint International is held every other year, alternating with CCP’s biennial International Miniature Print Competition.
About the Juror: The juror for the competition is Anne Coffin, Founder and Director of the International Print Center New York.
Eligibility: All fine art printmaking mediums, including woodcut, intaglio, lithography, silkscreen, monotype and original digital media. (No drawings, photographs or direct reproductions are eligible.) Art must be hand-pulled and generated on stone, block, or plate using printing process. Computer-generated art is eligible only if it incorporates other methods of hand-pulled printing or handwork. Image size must be exactly 12 x 12 inches (30.5 x 30.5 cm). The image may bleed; margins may not exceed 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) on each side. Outside dimensions of the printing paper may not exceed 15 x 15 inches (38.1 x 38.1 cm). Paper beyond these dimensions of accepted prints will be trimmed to the dimensions required for the exhibition. Only two dimensional works will be accepted.
Prizes and Awards: Cash prizes and purchase awards will be made by the jurors.
Terms: All entries accepted to Footprint International 2010 will exhibited in the Grace Shanley Gallery and will also be posted in online exhibition via CCP's website. All prints must be for sale. CCP will retain a commision of 50% on all works sold.
