Anyone who lives in Nottinghamshire is welcome to submit. There are no other requirements other than you consider yourself to be creatively invested in the area, There's no specific drawing of any boundaries and Off Centre Festival expect to receive submissions from people in neighbouring counties.
Life OpportunitiesAll types of photographic work is welcome to be submitted. It doesn’t have to be taken locally, all that matters is the photographers are local. Its about showing off what the local photographers are doing. There is no specific theme, Off Centre Festival hope to exhibit a wide range of work.
They expect people to submit an ongoing series you have been working on for a few weeks, months or longer. Ideally the series will share a similar trait, whether thats the aesthetic and feel, a common subject, something with a story or just the intent that the images work together. Off Centre will be providing mentoring for anyone they feel would benefit too.
Off Centre will only accept photographic images. All images will be printed and framed by the festival, and the exhibited framed prints will be given to you at the end of the festival. Photographers working on film will be offered the choice of darkroom prints. Selected photographers will also receive a one page spread including a brief biography in a photobook being produced as part of the festival, and a presence on our website. All published photographers will also receive one copy of the book.
There is no fee to pay to submit, Off Centre will be funding all the printing and framing, so the only thing you need to invest is your time.
Photographers retain full copyright and ownership of their photos when submitting. Then if your work is exhibited, photographers will be asked to sign a license to allow Off Centre to use those photos for publicity and in the book they are producing, again with photographers retaining full copyright and ownership of their photos.
Submit your photography now for your chance to be a part of Nottingham’s first photography festival.
