photoED magazine presents: MELD - Photography as a creative blender.

 

Print publishing is a unique and rare privilege that offers artists a legacy document of their work and story. We love how it feels to hold beautiful images in your hands, and we want to share this experience.

photoED magazine is looking to publish – in print and online:

• Well considered submissions – A project/idea crafted with intention

• Fine art – not stock photography

• Original artistic work

• Diverse interpretations on the theme “MELD” – which means to merge, combine, or mash-up – photography as a creative blender.

​

Submissions are blind reviewed by our Volunteer Curatorial Editorial board members.

When examining entries, judges will assess how the work presents a unique interpretation on the theme of MELD.
