enigma: photography show 2023

Deadline for Entries: Thursday, December 29th, 2023

This year our theme is “Enigma”. As photographers, can we make ourselves comfortable with ambiguity or lack of representational form? Is there a way to make a photograph that is both realistic and enigmatic? Upstream would like to elicit photography that speaks to this theme. Photographs need not be abstract. We are looking for answers in all forms of photography. Our juror, Dave Shelley, will be looking for creativity in both literal and symbolic interpretations of this idea. Exhibition will be held at Upstream Gallery, Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, February 2, 2023, to February 26, 2023.

Guest Juror: Our guest juror DAVE SHELLEY is a co-founder of Photoville–a New York-based non-profit organization that works to promote a wider understanding and increased access to the art of photography for all. Our guest juror will also select Best of Show and three Honorable Mentions.

Specifications: All work must be suitably framed. Maximum framed size may not exceed 30 x 40 inches. Accepted pieces must be wired for hanging. The gallery reserves the right to reject poorly presented pieces.
