Lensbaby is teaming up with the prestigious Washington School of Photography (WSP) to curate a show of amazing Lensbaby images from around the world.

The theme of this call for submissions is See In A New Way. Lensbaby lenses change the way you look at and photograph the world.

Prizes: 

Up to 50 images may be chosen to be hung as part of the show at the WSP gallery in Rockville, MD (just outside of DC proper) with an opening reception on March 4, 2011.  Awards will include First Place, 2nd Place and 3rd place.  Aside from the special recognition, the top three winners will receive Lensbaby Bucks - $300 for First Place, $200 for Second Place, and $100 for Third Place.

Eligibility: 

Any photographer can submit any two images, shot with any Lensbaby optic (Double Glass, Single Glass, Plastic, Pinhole/Zone Plate, Fisheye or Soft Focus).

Three judges - Missy Loewe, Kate Fraser, and Parker Pfister - will choose the winning images.

Deadline: December 30, 2010

Photographers whose images are chosen will be required to print, frame and ship their winning piece to WSP. Framed, ready to hang work MUST arrive at WSP no later than February 24, 2011.

Photographers can price pieces as they see fit. No commission will be taken.
