Galerie Huit Open Salon 2011 is seeking creative photographic talent to showcase critically and aesthetically challenging innovative work.

Selected artists and their winning images will be given a valuable opportunity to exhibit their work in a prestigious international gallery, Galerie Huit Arles, where their work will be printed by the Galerie Huit Open Salon and offered for sale, during one of the world’s leading photography festivals over a period of three months (4th July – 18th September 2011).

In addition, the winning images of the Galerie Huit Open Salon 2011 will travel from Arles to South East Asia and will be exhibited in Galerie Huit Penang, Malaysia in January 2012.
We are inviting images that evoke and relay the concept of transience – references that relate to change or the process of changing. How do we relate to a permanent state of transition, impermanence and the passing of time? Genres and inspiration relating to change and transition can be wide-ranging and relate to any aspect of our lives – personal, historical, environmental, cultural, global, political, social, geographical or seasonal. The theme encourages the exploration of any number of observations, concepts, emotions, experiences and beliefs.
