Phodar Biennial 2011: Call for Entries
The theme for the 7th Phodar Biennial is CONTEMPORARY MYTHS.
Humankind has always strived for the ideal, the absolute. The "real" consequence of this is the idealization and mythologization of people, events, processes, doctrines. Photography, which is essentially documentary, is expected to debunk myths, rather than create them, but … it is only a means. There might be many different points of view on this theme.
The photographs will compete in the following categories:
- Category One – a portfolio of 5-12 photographs with a coherent message;
- Category Two – for single photographs;
- Category Three (Photo School) – for photographers who are still studying or are at the beginning of their career.
Awards:
| 750 EUR |
| 500 EUR |
| 400 EUR |
| 300 EUR |
| 200 EUR |
| PHODAR statuette |
| Additional raffle prizes from sponsoring companies. |

- Deadline for submission of entries – 15 February 2011 (postmarked no later than that date).
