| POPCAP 2014 – Prize for Contemporary African Photography |
 |
POPCAP '14 - piclet.org PRIZE piclet.org is is calling for entries to POPCAP – the prize for contemporary African photography. POPCAP is awarded to photographic portfolios that are either produced in an African country or deal with a diaspora of an African country. The award is open to photographers of any age or descent. There is no entry fee. Call closes July 1 2014. THE PRIZE The five winning entries will be exhibited internationally at a series of publicly accessible exhibitions. Photo Ireland Fesival, Dublin, Ireland >> POPCAP will cover travel and accommodation expenses so that the winners can attend at least one of the shows personally. Besides the shows, the winners' portfolios will be published in the POPCAP ‘14 catalog, in European Photography Magazine and their portfolios will be included in the piclet.org directory for hand-picked photographers’ portfolios. JUDGES Submissions to POPCAP are judged by a panel of 26 internationally-sourced judges including Jenny Altschuler, director, Month of Photography, Cape Town, South Africa ABOUT POPCAP aims to raise the profile of African photography in the arts and provide more publicity for artists engaging with the African continent. The internationally-sourced panel of judges enables the promotion of African photography worldwide and helps to avoid geographically and culturally one-sided views of the portfolios. POPCAP also aims to cooperate with international exhibition partners in order to foster exchanges between the various initiatives. At piclet.org we are interested in the idea of balancing social media networking with "real world" networking through events such as POPCAP. piclet.org was launched in 2009 by Berlin-based media artist Benjamin Füglister as an international online portal for the presentation of contemporary photographers’ portfolios and as an international directory of important festivals, creative publications and institutions for photography. IN RETROSPECT POPCAP was first awarded in 2012, with five winners chosen from 140 submissions by a panel of nine internationally-sourced judges. In 2013 POPCAP received 360 submissions from 57 countries that were judged by 14 judges. 2014 sees piclet.org offering the prize for contemporary African photography for the third time.
