Head On – Portrait Photography Competition
We have been advised of a new portrait competition run by the Head On Foundation
Head On Seminar and Call for Entries – 2009 – deadline for submission – Sunday 11pm EDT, 22 March 2009. Total value of prizes is approximately $37,000.
“Head On is the nation’s major innovative showcase for Australian portrait photography, reflecting a vibrant, diverse cross-section of new and traditional photographic practices.
The show’s main selection criteria are the quality and impact of the image, rather than the celebrity of the photographer or subject. As a result Head On is regarded by the arts community and reviewers as the most critically important photographic portrait prize in the country.
Head On, was founded by Moshe Rosenzveig in 2004 as an independent national photographic portrait competition. Since then it has undergone exponential growth and now operates as a public non-profit company.
Sydney based, it travels to arts hubs in other Australian regions and has an online virtual exhibition presence year round. It is exhibited at the Australian Centre for Photography around May each year. It was part of Daylesford Biennale in 2007 and Vivid Photography Festival in Canberra in 2008. “
