581 CALL FOR ENTRIES “Shadowplay I”: BORDERLANDS – Takoma Park, Maryland ShadowPlay is the first festival of projected photography presented by The Takoma Park Arts and Humanities Commission. Each ShadowPlay event will present a selection of photography based on a theme along with live musical performers. BORDERLANDS: Fences, walls, barbed wire. Membranes, skin, coverings. Rules, jurisdictions, frontiers. Disputed, visible, invisible. What does it mean to live on a border, to break through a boundary, to be pushed to the edge? Who has the right to mark or enforce a border? Do good fences make good neighbors? In recognition of Takoma Park's historic position, a border community, ShadowPlay has selected the theme Borderlands for its first festival of projected imagery. Organizers invite diverse responses to this theme in the medium of photography. Spanning the range from global to local to personal, interpretations may be documentary, conceptual, or abstract – or anything that runs along the edges. Curated by Allison Shelley, staff photographer at the Washington Times and co-founder of Women Photojournalists of Washington, “ShadowPlay I” will accept entries from local, national, and international photographers for a two-hour screening event of photography including live music. Indie songwriter Maybarduk and Bolivian singer/guitarist Marco Ovando will perform a live score for Takoma Park's Shadowplay event on Saturday, March 21, 2009 at the Takoma Park Community Center. “ShadowPlay I”: BORDERLANDS GUIDELINES ENTRIES ACCEPTED: Photography only DEADLINE: February 15, 2009 ENTRY FEE: None CURATOR: Allison Shelley, staff photographer, Washington Times INQUIRIES: Stephane Janin - TKPKshadowplay@gmail.com LOCATION: Takoma Park Community Center, 7500 Maple Ave, Takoma Park, MD REQUIREMENTS: Entrants must email the following items ONLY: • Artist statement of 75 words or less • 20 images saved at 72 dpi resolution in jpeg RGB format with the longest side measuring 1000 pixels.
