The Camera Obscura Journal of Literature and Photography is hosting its Spring 2011 International photography competition for both professional and non-professional photographers. Open to all types of photography and photography-based mixed media artworks. Entries are judged on the following: artistic merit, use of the elements and principles of art and design, as well as artistic impact and story-telling and technical proficiency (includes proper use of light). We're looking for the best, most visually intriguing photography we can find. We have a distinguished panel of judges. All entries are judged anonymously and are accepted only through our electronically submission system.

Camera Obscura Journal Runs two competitions each year according to the following schedule:
Entries received between Mar. 16 and Sept. 15 are entered in the Winter Competition
Entries received between Sept. 16 and Mar 15 are entered in the Summer Competition
*Administrative cost and prizes for each are the same.

Camera Obscura Journal accepts for its photography contest any photographic-based artwork. The artwork need not consist exclusively of photography. Photography-based mixed media artworks are encouraged for submission, in addition to straight photography as long as it can be submitted electronically.
