Hey, Hot Shot! offers unrivaled opportunities for emerging photographers to have their work promoted online, reviewed by top-notch panelists and exhibited in our New York gallery. Now entering its fourth year, the international competition has been lauded by curators, critics, educators and journalists. This year, we’ve sharpened our focus on fewer hot shots, giving them even more exposure. Read on for the details.

fewer hot shots + longer exhibitions = more exposure
The competition is now bi-annual. In each competition, five photographers will be selected to be part of a two-week showcase at
Jen Bekman Gallery.

cold hard cash
Each winning photographer will be awarded a $500 honorarium.

ultras go solo
At year’s end two Ultras will be selected from 2008’s ten Hot Shots. The Ultras will be represented by
Jen Bekman Gallery and slated for solo exhibitions.

in it to win it
As always, we’ll select contenders to feature daily on the Hey, Hot Shot! blog throughout the entry period. Contenders will also be considered for 20×200, Jen Bekman Projects’ newest online endeavor which offers limited edition prints at affordable prices.

It is also my understanding that, if my photographs are chosen to be physically displayed in Jen Bekman Gallery, I will be personally responsible for all shipping and insurance to/from the gallery, framing and production costs associated with exhibiting my work.

I have paid a $60 handling fee to Jen Bekman Projects, Inc. for considering up to three works of art for the Hey, Hot Shot! competition.

…mmmh after paying for shipping and insurance and the 60 bucks for entry it seems even winning the 500 bucks is only going to cover your costs, considering the time involved…. just a thought
