Photo Submission
Submission
The photo submission deadline was December 31, 2023. T/NB youth 18 and younger voted on which pictures were printed.
At the show we will have an area where you can bring and post your own beautiful, happy photos of your T/NB self and your T/NB loved ones.
The photo show is exclusively positive so only positive and youth-appropriate pictures will be allowed.
Subjects are T/NB. The point is to show happy, beautiful T/NB adults and children.
For those pictures already submitted:
Identifiable subjects must sign the release.
If you cannot tell who the subject is, because it is an abstract or their face or other identifying characteristics are not shown, the subject does not need to sign the release.
If the subject is identifiable and under 18, a legal guardian must sign the release in addition to the subject.
Photographers must sign the release.
If the panel selects your photograph: For planning purposes we are assuming 24"x36" prints on metal. This requires high-resolution (between 240 - 300 dpi) files to look good. The printer we are using does not do custom sizes so please pick a standard aspect ratio or your picture will be cropped. If we raise enough funding we would love to ship these back to you as a thank you. If we don't, we will ask if you would like to pay for shipping. This might be ~$50 each. 24"x36" is quite large. We have two organizations, The Frederick Center and TGEA, that serve the LGBTI+ community, that would love to display these after the show. Consider if you (photographer and models) are willing to have selected and printed pictures donated.
If you are taking new pictures to post on the interactive wall and wondering what to show, consider pictures of T/NB people
active in interesting professions, such as teaching, movie directing, sculpting, painting, modeling, or as a doctor or politician. (Sorry, but no one wants to see us behind our computers.)
