SALON PHOTO PRIZE - CALL FOR APPLICATIONS Closing Date: 5pm, Saturday 4 December

An exciting opportunity for photographers - Matt Roberts Arts are inviting applications for their first Salon Photo Prize which will take place next year, from 4 February - 26 February. They expect to exhibit up to 100 practitioners, and one exhibitor will also win the Selectors’ prize of £1000 and a solo exhibition in 2012. This year's selection panel consists of:
Simon Baker, Curator of Photography, Tate

Stefanie Braun, Curator, The Photographers' Gallery

Tim Clark, Editor-in-chief, 1000 Words Photography Magazine 

Charlotte Cotton, Creative Director, National Media Museum

All applicants are being asked to submit a membership fee of £8 instead of an application fee. This will allow artists to apply to all three Salon Prizes - art, photo and video - if appropriate and offers ongoing professional development support through networking events and portfolio sessions.
The deadline for applications is: 5pm, Saturday 4 December.
