CALL FOR ENTRIES for House of Photography

The Westcott House announces  a call for photo-based work that speaks to the theme of Urban Spaces: “the elegances, the squalor, the curiosities, the monuments, the sad faces, the triumphant faces, the power, the irony, the strength, the decay, the past, the present, the future of a city.” —Berenice Abbott, 1940

Deadline for submissions: Friday, October 10, 2014

To enter, please go to WestcottHouse.org.
