Expressions of Courage Black & White Photography Competition Deadline: September 28 Exhibit: October 8 - January 3, 2014 Courage- The ability to do something that’s frightening. The ability to push forward and move ahead despite the obstacles in one’s way. The ability to smile in the face of cancer, Parkinson’s, Down ’s syndrome or autism. For people who are facing chronic illness or disability, courage is conjured on a daily basis in that easy smile, steady gaze or clenched jaw demonstrating their hope, strength and determination. This exhibit celebrates the spirit of individuals facing chronic illness and/or disability through photographic display of black & white portraits expressing courage. Photographers of any age and skill level within 100 miles of New Castle are eligible to apply, however photographs must be original, black and white and printed to 11” x 14”. Photographs should be securely mounted and matted in white to 16x20. For consistency of presentation, the Hoyt will provide frames for the exhibition but return the work to the artist unframed. Photographs should depict an individual - patient, caregiver or medical professional - who is facing, caring for or treating a chronic illness or disability and be accompanied by a brief explanation (one paragraph) of the individual featured. Entries will be displayed in the upper level exhibit hall of Jameson Health System’s North Campus. There is a $10.00 application fee for up to two works.
