Montage | Jadavpur University Photographic Club (JUPC)

CALL FOR ENTRIES

JUPC has been celebrating its photography competition and exhibition, for the last ten editions under the banner of 'MONTAGE'. Continuing the tradition, in its eleventh iteration, the Photography Contest and Exhibition opens as a platform for photography-enthusiasts all over the world to share their interests to the people of Kolkata and a panel of distinguished judges through their photographic works.

Participants can submit their portfolios for both open and the thematic sections under the categories - single image and photostory. This time we are also introducing another category for a short film in the thematic section.

ELIGIBILITY: Montage '20 is open to all, over the age of 10.

There is no entry fee for any student across the globe.

TIME

Photography as an art form is inherently linked to Time. Montage '20 aims at exploring the various ways in which photography and Time can intersect or even interact with each other. Based on the duration of exposure, photographs can capture fleeting moments as well as prolonged time periods. Photographs can also supplement or even replace memory, as Susan Sontag had claimed. But how so? Also can photography relate to how we perceive and write historical narratives? Is it a mere impartial tool for documentation or is it governed by underlying ideologies?

Montage ’20 aims at providing a platform to people all over the world interested in presenting photographic works pertinent to their perspective of the relation between time and photography.

Submissions will be open till 10th February 2020.
