UPDATE: Deadline Extended to October 15, 2009
Anthropology News invites AAA members to participate in the 2009 AAA Photo Contest. All current members are eligible to enter, and we encourage photographs featuring a variety of subjects representing any area of our diverse field. Entries will be accepted June 1–October 15, 2009. Each photograph will be judged based on technical quality, composition and relationship to anthropological work. Winning photographs will be published in AN in 2010, placed in the AN Flickr gallery and displayed in the AAA office.
This year we are pleased to offer an online submission form. We strongly recommend having your materials ready before starting the submission process.
A complete entry includes:
-
A photographer biography, up to 700 characters in length
-
AAA member ID number
-
Up to five high resolution photographs, taken between September 15, 2008 and October 1, 2009. The photos should be submitted as jpg files. Recommended crop size is 5.5”x7”, as finalists will be displayed in the office gallery at 11”x14”.
-
A caption for each submitted photograph, up to 700 characters in length
Entrants will be asked to confirm that they have permission from all people featured in the photos to publish and distribute their images, and that they give AAA permission to display and publish the submitted photos and captions.
To submit your materials, go to the online submission form. If you have questions, please email Amy Goldenberg at photos@aaanet.org.
Submission Tips
- Use the caption to convey the context of your photograph and to clearly connect it to your anthropological work.
- Make any desired technical adjustments to your photograph prior to submission. Consider details such as crop, light balance, perspective and depth of field.
- Choose photographs that can be understood on their own. Multiple entries from the same photographer are judged individually, not as a set.
