Summer tree, "From the roots to the future"
"Man is like a tree and in his every winter, spring levitates bringing new leaves and new vigour" (Vasco Pratolini)
1st
Art Photography Competition
City of Gubbio
4aMagazine has launched an international photography
competition entitled "Summer Tree, from the roots to the future."
The contest is divided into four categories and is
open to professional, emerging and amateur photographers, and there is also a
section for artistic photography (with pictorial modification by the artist).
25 photographers for each section will be selected and
their works will be exhibited in a collective show taking place in July in the
city of Gubbio.
At the conclusion of this, the winners of each section
will be awarded by a
competent jury, whereas visitors will be
voting for their favourite one of all categories.
The theme was chosen for its closeness with the winter
event "Christmas Tree, l'albero
d'artista", celebrating the tree as a work of art. Famous
for hosting the largest Christmas tree in the world, the City of Gubbio is seat
of the Associazione Nazionale Centri
Storici (the Italian association of historical centres) and it is located in a
unique natural landscape which has always been inspiring photographers from all
over the world.
Furthermore, it is meaningful the choice of the
"tree" for its capability to produce metaphors and suggestions.
The exhibition will start on Wednesday, July 18 in the
space "Gli Arconi" and will be open to
public until Sunday, August 26, ending with the
awarding of the photographers
chosen by a competent jury and the public who visited the exhibition.
The exhibition is intended to be a meeting occasion
with live painting demonstrations taking place for the entire duration of the
event.
The deadline for submissions is 30/04/2012.
