The 2008 International Photography Competition

An opportunity for photographers to exhibit their work in one of the Greater Washington DC area's premier independent fine arts galleries. We have had tremendous success with our previous juried exhibitions, which were widely reviewed in several local art magazines and national newspapers. See some of our reviews here. These other exhibitions have in several cases also opened up additional exhibition opportunities for artists in the DC area.
