Exposure – A Competition Celebrating the Power of the Image
This came into my inbox and I thought I would share it with Presenting Architecture. It does involve registering at another portfolio site but coming from someone who runs a directory site, another link to your work is a good thing. The judges seem to be a well rounded and respected group of people to get your work in front of as well. Basically, you join the site, pay $10 per image to enter and at the least you get another online portfolio. The actual prizes are quite substancial. Your Final Deadline is Tuesday, December 20th at Midnight.
