GLOBAL CALL FOR ENTRIES

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: OCTOBER 15, 2023

THE BFA PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO DEPARTMENT at the School of Visual Arts announces a call for entries for an upcoming printed publication and online exhibition. This year, the prompt is We The Present: Today Begins the Future — a jumping-off point for students to use photography and video to explore what it means to exist in the current moment as we look ahead. How do technology, media, and current events shape our present, and how might they inform our collective future? 

TOP PRIZE | The top prize winner will receive free tuition and housing toward a Summer 2024 Pre-College course offered by the BFA Photography and Video Department at SVA.

EXCLUSIVE PUBLICATION | A selection of the best works will be chosen for a printed publication, which will be widely distributed.

ONLINE EXHIBITION | Each student's work will be considered for an online exhibition featuring a selection of entries, which will be hosted on the SVA BFA Photography and Video website.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES | The contest is open to all current high school students worldwide, ages 14–19. To be considered, each student must submit an entry of 3–5 images or up to 2 videos.
