Photo Place Gallery - Call for Entries: Traces
Theme: Traces. Even the most mundane human activity leaves evidence of its existence. Old letters and shopping lists, a once-loved stuffed animal left on the swing set, fragments of an old wedding dress, traces of writing on a long-since erased chalk board, all speak of the passage of time.

About:
Even the most mundane human activity leaves evidence of its existence. Old letters and shopping lists, a once-loved stuffed animal left on the swing set, fragments of an old wedding dress, traces of writing on a long-since erased chalk board, all speak of the passage of time. Larger human activities leave boarded-up storefronts, crumbling infrastructure and repurposed structures. No matter the scale, they all leave a nostalgic hint of an irretrievable past and, ultimately, of our mortality.
For this exhibition, we seek images that hint of humans come and gone by the traces left behind.
We are very pleased that Jeff Curto will be the juror Traces. He will select up to 35 images for exhibition in our Middlebury, Vermont gallery and another 40 images for our Online Gallery. All 75 images will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog and remain permanently on our website, with links to photographer’s URL.
We are now presenting cash prizes. $500 for the Juror’s Award and $250 for the Director’s Award.
