Galerie Huit Open Salon 2011 is an International Photographic Competition

Galerie Huit Open Salon 2011 is an International Photographic Competition designed to showcase cutting-edge contemporary and emerging photography from around the world and promote new work by talented artists, enabling them to exhibit and receive exposure during and alongside the renowned international Photography Festival ‘Les Rencontres d’Arles’ in France.

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

Awards will be granted in recognition of the photographer’s contribution to the art of photography in the areas of creativity, conceptual strength and technical skill. The applicants can be at any stage of their career.

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).

The overall Winner of the competition will also be offered a one month Artist in Residence 2011/2012 with Galerie Huit and be accommodated within the beautiful, centrally located gallery building.

The exhibited artists will be given the opportunity to have their work seen by the many prominent industry professionals who attend Les Rencontres d’Arles every year. The festival has very much an international following attracting prominent collectors, curators, gallerists, artists, publishers and photography enthusiasts from around the world. In 2010 attendees were estimated at 73,000, including over 5,000 journalists.

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.
