DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION – Sunday 11pm (EDT), 14 March 2010

Head on Foundation invites photographers to submit works to the 2010 photographic portrait competition.

Prizes will be awarded for the best 3 images. The selection of images will be done anonymously based on the power of the photograph rather than the celebrity of the subject or photographer. Images can range from film to digitally produced using any photographic technique in colour and/or black & White.

Further prizes will be awarded to images selected for ‘The Critic’s Prize’ and for ‘People’s Choice’.

Finalists’ work will be selected by National Gallery of Victoria Photography Curator Isobel Crombie, Award winning Photographer Anthony Browell, picture editor and VU agent Isabelle Rouvillois and Head On curator Moshe Rosenzveig. The ‘Critic’s Prize’ will be selected by photography critic Robert McFarlane.
