TRANSITION TO THE LIGHT

Photography competition

TRANSITION Network of Thessalian Festivals, having set as its principal goal the development and establishment of collaborations and the support and networking of artists, starts its first competitive section, in the framework of the artistic schedule of the three participating festivals (Mill of Performing Arts, Volos Festival, Trikala Comedy Festival).

The objective of this new section is the broadened participation of artists in the events’ schedule of the festivals, their contact with new artistic forms and trends and also with the festivals’ audience, through exhibitions and interdisciplinary fora, as well as the financial support of artists whose work will stand out.

The coordination team of TRANSITION Festivals Network aims at the gradual opening of of the competitive section to every art form that takes place in the events’ schedule of the festivals )theatre, Dance, Visual Arts etc). This year it will be limited to photography.

For the above reasons, TRANSITION Network addresses an open call to professional and amateur photographers to investigate through their lens the concept of Transition to the Light, as interpreted by each one. The selected images will be the base of a photography exhibition that will travel to all three cities of the network to be presented to the public. Each photographer has the right to participate with a maximum of two (2) photos.

The evaluation will be done by a committee consisted by two members of the Photography Clubs of Volos and Larissa and three professional photographers-members of the coordinating teams of the network. Three (3) prizes will be awarded as following:

• 1st prize: 300 euros
• 2nd prize: 200 euros
• 3rd prize: 100 euros

Deadline for submission of photos: 1/8-1/9/2021
