SUBMISSION CALL 2014

Since 2005, the "Htels Paris Rive Gauche" group has organised a photo project "A Hotel Photo, An Artists View" aiming to support artistic creation and contemporary photography. The concept of the project is simple: each month we let a young photographer spend one night in one of the hotels belonging to the Htels Paris Rive Gauche group and allow him/her to submit one photo, and one piece of text inspired by his/her stay. The selected photograph, text and a presentation of the artists are given their own online gallery on our site: http://www.phpa.fr

Please note: certain conditions for selection have been changed for this new edition.
THE PRIZE Since 2007, the artists are also exposed in a prestigious venue in Paris and are in the running for a 3000 euros prize, as well as another popular prize (the Virginie Clment prize). The selected artists will start taking their photos in December 2013 and will be published on http://www.phpa.fr in 2014 and exposed in 2015. GENERAL CONDITIONS Admission: this event is organised by Htels Paris Rive Gauche with http://www.fetart.org PRINTS The Htels Paris Rive Gauche group pays the cost of printing the photo for the exhibition. This print becomes property of the Htels Paris Rive Gauche group at the end of the exhibition. Apart from the stay at the hotel and the cost of printing the single photo, the Organiser will not pay any other development charges or any other charge, including technical charges. The Organiser reserves the right to refuse the single photo if he believes that it is not in the spirit of the contest. This decision is theirs alone and cannot be contested, and the photographer accepts this when participating in the contest. CANDIDATURES Date for applications: no later than 10 November 2013.
