An invitation to submit your photograph
to the 2008 PRC Benefit Auction.
Long considered one of Boston’s premier arts events, the PRC Benefit Auction has been successful in not only
generating much needed operating funds for the organization, but it has also been instrumental in advancing the
careers of numerous photographers. The event draws a large number of Boston’s private and corporate photography
collectors and the exposure of the auction website and catalogue is far reaching. This year, we are opening
up the auction donating process to PRC members. If you are an artist or collector interested in having your work
considered by the industry professionals and photography collectors of the PRC auction acquisition committee,
please read the submission details below. It is through the generosity of the photographers, their galleries, and the
collecting community that we are able to raise the funds needed to support the PRC.
Eligibility:
Submitters must be PRC members in good standing.
Deadline for submissions:
Submissions must be postmarked or delivered before or on July 1,
2008. If you wish to have your materials returned, your entry must
include a self-addressed pre-paid mailer. There will be no pick-ups
offered at the gallery.
Submission notes:
Still image submissions are limited to three and must be submitted
digitally as jpeg files with .jpg extensions added. Images should be
five inches on the longest side at 300 dpi, and must be submitted
on CD-Rom. We suggest you test your CD-Rom on a PC prior to
submitting. Incorrectly formatted or corrupt files will not be reviewed.
The PRC assumes no responsibility for damaged or missing materials
on premises or in transit. No original works are accepted. Please
be sure to label each jpg by number, your last name, and title of
the photograph. Please also include a corresponding checklist with
the title, year, media, edition size, indication of signature and where
signed. In addition, include a 150-word biography (not a resume)
on the same page. Please note, if selected we request that the image
be delivered to the PRC framed by August 5th. The PRC offers between
0% and 30% back to the artist of the auction net sale price.
The PRC thanks you for submitting your work. If one of your photographs is
selected to be included in the auction, you will contacted by phone.
Non-selected materials will be returned as soon as possible.
