PHOTO CONTEST and CREATIVE EXPERIMENT Portrait Pathways
Strongly believing in the power of experimentation and synergy between various arts, in 2021, with its second edition, the International Portrait Film Festival (IPFF) creates a competition module for photographic portraits. The experiment will be open to photography projects by professionals and amateurs from around the world. The selected best photo portraits will be part of an exhibition during the festival events of IPFF 2021.
One of all the selected photographs will be awarded as a winner and will become a starting point for experimental transformations - in a virtual art incubator it will be an inspiration for subsequent discussions and creations in various arts and fields.
Categories:
Portrait of a lady (a portrait from another historical time, past or future)
Portrait of a lady on fire (a queer portrait)
Portrait in sepia (a monochrome or black&white portrait)
The picture of Dorian Gray (a very beautiful portrait or a portrait-grotesque)
Portrait of the artist as a young man (a surreal portrait)
Self-portrait with ear and pipe (a self-portrait of the photographer)
Selection and evaluation
From all the submitted applications, the IPFF team and the jury of the contest will select the best 24 photos, which will be published on the platforms of the festival and will participate in an exhibition (digital & print versions) within the second edition of IPFF in November 2021.
The jury of the competition will distinguish ONE best work from the selected photographs.
Awards and prizes
The best work is given the opportunity to participate in a creative incubator "Portrait Pathways". The creative incubator is a virtual space that allows artists and photography lovers, through their comments, to share impressions, opinions, as well as to generate narratives, whose starting point is this one selected photograph. The aim of the process is an enriching accumulation of ideas, outlining a new, longer and unexpected life of the work, as well as popularizing the artist within a different context.
Cash prize - the awarded photographer also receives a cash prize - 50% of the prize fund. The prize fund is formed by the paid participation fees. The amount raised is distributed as follows:
50% for a prize for the best work;
50% for costs and development of the photo contest.
All authors of selected photographs will receive a specialized digital diploma.

Eligibility:
“She Came in Through the Bathroom Window” sang the Beatles
“Lookin’ Out My Backdoor” sang Creedence Clearwater Revival
Doors and windows and arches and frames and tunnels are so much a part of our lives. There are so many ways to think about them. We can look at them, or through them. We can poke our hand out the window to test the weather, or just see a wonderful scene a little differently when framed by an arch or array of tree limbs in a park.
For this call your images can focus on the "portal" itself like a closed door or a wonderful windowsill or the view through the portal to the other side. Does it frame the main subject of the photograph or does it add another dimension, such as the distortions of old glass or reflections in windowpanes.
Once again, we invite you to be creative and have fun in the process.
As with all calls, all 2D photographic art is accepted.
$1100 GRAND PRIZE
$400 3- FIRST PRIZES

SURVEILLANCE SOCIETY. A STATE OF CONTROL
Call for Exhibition │Free entry
Accepted media: Photography, Digital Visual Design, Video
Group Exhibition in Rome or Milan city. April 2022
-
This call intends to collect works that are useful while critically commenting on contemporary society and on the tools used to regulate the behavior of the masses.
"A state of control", this is how the condition of men who live within the spaces of an evolved society can be defined. More and more technologies are being used to guarantee the safety of individuals, in an attitude of trust towards those who have the task of nipping in the bud the emergence of behaviors not recognized by social norms.
Surveillance also means recording, analyzing behaviors and lifestyles, it means collecting data and information useful for the growth of a nation, for the protection and safety of one’s people, but also and above all, useful to those who know how to make economic profit out of all this.
It is here that, once again, that vision of the world made known by G. Orwel in his novel “1984” is called into question, where contemplation on human rights and freedoms are at the center of a conscious criticism of the social system and of an idea about the future.
