CALL FOR PHOTOGRAPHS, “Filipinos in New York” Photo Exhibition” for Filipino American Heritage Month deadline August 10th
“Filipinos in New York” Call for Photographs 2011
The Filipino American National Historical Society – Metro New York Chapter (FANHS) announces a call for photographs for the upcoming exhibition “Filipinos in New York” that will take place this October 2011. In celebration of October Filipino American History Month, the exhibit will be open to all photographers of any age and all photographs of any year. Fifteen to twenty photographs will be chosen by our jurors for exhibition, and select photographs, one Best in Show and three Honorable Mentions, will be included in the upcoming book “Filipinos in New York” published by Arcadia.
We are looking for photographs that exemplify the history, culture, neighborhoods, community, families, organizations, etc. of Filipinos in New York. We are also looking for original photographs taken during earlier time periods (e.g., pictures of ‘pensianados’ or college students at Columbia or NYU; naval officers in the 1950s, post-1965 immigrants in metropolitan New York). All photographs will be considered.
The exhibition will run during October with an opening reception to celebrate the exhibition and Filipino American History Month.
Deadline for submissions is August 10th. Late submissions will not be considered. Selected photographs will be announced August 24th. Please indicate the name of the photographer, the approximate date, and a brief description of the photograph.
Please email submissions to fanhsmny@gmail.com. Arcadia Publishing is the leading local history publisher in the United States, with a
