Time to bolster those resumes, so here are some great opportunities coming up... most are free, so the "I'm poor" excuse won't work.

FREE:

• Breaking Boundaries: an international, traveling show for students.
• Wildlife Competition: it's an online show, but it's a line on the resume with a potential prize.
• Poetry: a poetry website with a competition, again, it's a line not to be overlooked.
• PDN photo of the day: can only submit one... your best one, but would be cool.
• North by Northwestern: a music festival with an art event.
• Siggraph: not sure what it is, but I think it's free and looks cool.

CHEAP:

• A million little pictures: cool project.
• Tilt gallery
• Estel Gallery: only for the ladies

TO FIND MORE:

• CAA
• SPE
  

Don't forget, the downtown Monroe artfest is this Saturday from 12pm-6pm. If you are planning on selling work you need to be there and ready before noon. Make sure you are preparing right now and gradually finishing all the little details throughout the week (pricing, business cards, printing, etc.) If you have questions talk to your photo-faculty member sooner than later.

Here's the website. Stop by even if you're not selling work.

The Masur Museum of Art's annual juried members exhibition is due on Friday! You should all plan to submit to this. On a side note, being a member of a museum can go on your resume, so even if you don't get work in, you get another line!

Details are right here.
