Entries for the juried 10th annual Maine Photography Show (MPS) are still being accepted, but not for much longer. The deadline is midnight on Friday, Jan. 23.

This show is open to all Maine residents, including folks with summer addresses.

The MPS theme, one of the four categories, is “Visions of Maine.” The remaining three categories are color, black and white and student. Students must be 18 or under and may choose any theme or style.

Photographers can submit up to three images representing one or more of the categories. There is a $10 fee for each entry.

Submissions should be completed online at www.mainephotographyshow.com. Entry photos must be in jpeg format with a suggested resolution at 300 dpi with the widest dimension (1800) pixels. If not submitted at this size, images will be resized, to present a uniform presentation for juror. Entries must be submitted using the form on the show's website. No original art will be accepted.

Tillman Crane is juror of the show. Crane, artist, teacher and photojournalist, specializes in large format platinum prints and teaches workshops and classes at Maine Media Workshop of Rockport. A link to a full biography on Crane is on the show's website.

The MPS is sponsored by Boothbay Region Art Foundation (BRAF) in Boothbay Harbor. Board member and photographer Bruce Burnham said as of Jan. 14, entries were coming in “reasonably well.”

“Folks always work best in 'crisis mode’,” Burnham said. “It's just the way it is, but I would encourage artists to submit their entries now.”

Sixteen prizes, and the coveted honor of “Best of Show,” totaling over $1,600, will be awarded at the opening reception on Friday, April 10. The MPS opens at the Boothbay Region Art Foundation on April 11 and runs through Friday, May 1.

The gallery is located at 1 Townsend Avenue in Boothbay Harbor.
