Hey, Hot Shot! — The Best Thing Going for Emerging Photographers
Hey, Hot Shot! offers unrivaled opportunities for emerging photographers to have their work promoted online, reviewed by top-notch panelists and exhibited in our New York gallery. Now in its fourth year, the international competition has been lauded by curators, critics, educators and journalists. This year, we’ve sharpened our focus on fewer hot shots, giving them even more exposure.
fewer hot shots + longer exhibitions = more exposure
Our panel will select five Hot Shots to exhibit their work in a two-week showcase @ Jen Bekman Gallery. Two shows per year, with half as many people in each exhibition, add up to a higher profile for each winning photographer.
cold hard cash
Each winning photographer will be awarded a $500 honorarium.
ultras go solo
At year’s end two Ultras will be selected from 2008’s ten Hot Shots. The Ultras will be represented by Jen Bekman Gallery and slated for solo exhibitions.
in it to win it
As always, we’ll select contenders to feature daily on the Hey, Hot Shot! blog throughout the entry period.
collect yourself
Contenders will also be considered for 20×200, Jen Bekman’s newest online endeavor which offers limited edition prints at affordable prices. These editions are collected (and coveted) the world over by art lovers, editors and curators.
