Initially they didn’t know their ass from a hole in the ground (so to speak) and no idea how to do anything including what kinds of fils to accept.
In fact, initially, their contest rules were not very good (too much rights grabbing), and I reported them to artists-bill-of-rights.org. Based on discussions with them, The Art of Photography actually changed their rules. Very commendable. After that, I submitted some of my work to them.

times. Its a pretty decent show usually. In 2008 (maybe 2007) the
show winner was Richard Taylor. The man the designed all the effects for
TRON,
Star Trek the motion picture and many other amazing visual movies. His
show catalogs are pretty nice I still have a few in boxes because they are
nice. Plus if you live in LA or San Diego its just a fun night in old
town san diegos Gas Lamp quarter.

They obviously desperate for entries, otherwise they would not have
extended the deadline a couple of times. There are so many ‘contests’
online that the field is flooded. My advice would be that if you find
out a judge’s taste, you enter that and nothing else. If a judge prefers
b/w and has curated b/w shows, enter good b/w and it will get you in.
Have I ever
done this? Yes, all the time.

Too Many Juried Art Shows?
I been wondering about the response to all these juried shows with the
advent of all the different sites where one can post their stuff online
for free. Here a plea from an apparently desperate art show director
Hi,
I wish to share with you a simple letter about The Art of Photography
Show. In case you have not seen one of our "call for entries" emails,
the 2013 entry deadline is tonight, June 10th at 11:59 pm PDT.
We are encouraging each photographer to submit images which are a
unique _expression_ of you, your vision, your creativity. No limits, no
boxes you need to fit into. Though the title of the show is evocative of
what the exhibit is about**: The Art of Photography Show. Our Prospectus
contains all of the information about how to enter your work.
The Art of Photography Show is an international photography
competition, with the exhibition occurring each fall at the San Diego
Art Institute in
Balboa Park. Now in our ninth year, one of the distinguishing
characteristics of the competition is that our judge is always a highly
acclaimed museum curator. Most photographers feel that having their
work exhibited in a museum is the ultimate goal. Yet, getting exposure
to museum curators is normally very difficult. This project provides
that opportunity. We’re very excited that Julia Dolan is our judge this
year, the Curator of Photography at the Portland Art Museum. In this era
of "online exhibitions," we feel it's very important that photographers
exhibit their work as "objects of art" in physical galleries. The Sa n
Diego Art Institute is a very elegant 10,000 square foot gallery, right
next to the San Diego Museum of Art and the Museum of Photographic
Arts.
A key point of the show is to provide a forum for independent
photographers to exhibit and sell their work. The Opening Reception on
October 12, 2013 will be attended by over 1,500 people (for free). That
evening we will announce the award winning images and give away
$10,000 in
cash prizes, including $2,000 for first prize. And we'll be giving away
thousands of copies of the Show Catalogue, which will feature the
images and information about each of the exhibited artists. On the
morning of October 13, Julia Dolan will give a curatorial presentation,
talking about some of the work she selected and about contemporary
photography today. There will also be several artist talks during the
five week exhibition, similar to what we did in 2012. This document
provides additional information about the show.
Marketing and promotion for the Art of Photography Show is extensive,
with numerous cross-promotions, tens of thousands of announcement cards,
as well as promotion to thousands of fans and friends on social
networks. We will be sending a personal invitation to our list of over
25,000 collectors,
luxury consumers and art connoisseurs to the Opening Reception and to
all of our special events in the gallery. The purpose for all of the
above activities, events and efforts is to promote the selected artists
and to sell their work. And we truly love photography, so we are
diligently working to elevate and promote this art form.
Just to share a few additional thoughts, we answer every phone call,
reply to every email, review portfolios, share sincere feedback, speak
at schools and art classes, and do everything we can to assist photo
artists -- young, old, aspiring or established. You can read lots of
testimonials from artists and attendees of our previous shows here. And
please check out this short document by our Associate Producer, Lisa
Smith, titled "So what's it
really like? If my work is accepted, what happens next?"
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
Steven Churchill
Producer
