Call for Submissions – 2018-2019 Solo Photography Exhibitions
Texas Tech School of Art, Lubbock

The SRO Photo Gallery at the Texas Tech School of Art hosts an annual national competition for six to eight photographic art solo exhibitions. Portfolios are reviewed by a committee consisting of the Photography area of the School of Art and the Landmark Arts Staff.

We are seeking portfolios of work that address various photographic techniques and aesthetic approaches. Consistency in the work as well as creative vision is important in the selection process.

Entries must be submitted by April 15, 2018. The submission process is completed in 2 parts.

There is no submission fee to apply to SRO Photo Gallery for consideration. Selected artists will be announced in early May 2018.

We are only able to display artwork without framing (either matted or mounted on thin backing). The maximum dimensions an individual print can be for display are 30 x 72 x 1 inches. We are unable to display video works. The artist is responsible for the cost of shipping the work to the gallery, and Landmark Arts will cover the cost for return shipping.

All materials will be digitally archived through the 2018 – 2019 academic year if selected for exhibition. Your materials will be discarded if not selected.

Part 1: Complete the Submission Application Form at https://www.depts.ttu.edu/art/landmark-arts/SRO_Photo_Gallery/SRO-Photo-Gallery-Submission-Form.php.

Part 2: Once the Submission Application Form is completed and submitted, prepare a 20-image portfolio of your work by preparing a Powerpoint presentation of your works, including artwork title, year, media, and dimensions (height x width x depth in inches) for each of the photographs. Then save as a PDF. If the PDF exceeds 10 MG, upload to a cloud-share service such as Dropbox and email a link to your file to [email protected]. If your PDF is less than 10 MG, email it directly to [email protected].
