Documentary Photographers Invited to Submit Work for Open Society Foundations' Moving Walls Exhibition Series

The Open Society Foundations' Moving Walls program is inviting photographers to submit a body of work for consideration for the Moving Walls 21 group exhibition, scheduled to open in New York in the fall of 2013.

The Moving Walls exhibition series showcases documentary photography that highlights human rights and social issues that align with the mission of the Open Society Foundations. Moving Walls is exhibited at the foundations' offices in New York and Washington, D.C.

Each Moving Walls exhibit highlights issues or geographic regions where OSF is active. Priority is given to work whose subject has not been recently addressed in Moving Walls, and special consideration will be given to long-term work produced over years of commitment to an issue or community. Work in progress may be submitted as long as a substantial portion of the work has been completed.

Any emerging or veteran photographer who is working long-term to document a human rights or social justice issue may apply. Photographers working in their home countries, women, emerging artists, and people of color are strongly encouraged to apply.

A key benefit of the program is to gain exposure for photographers' projects, as well as the social justice or human rights issues they address. In addition to a $2,500 honorarium, photographers receive their professionally produced exhibitions at the end of the exhibition tour in New York and Washington, D.C.

Visit the OSF Web site for complete program guidelines, application procedures, and information on previous exhibitions.
