Hey, Hot Shot! :: A Jen Bekman Project

Jen Bekman Gallery is now accepting entries for the first edition of Hey, Hot Shot! 2008.

Hey, Hot Shot! offers unrivaled opportunities for emerging photographers to have their work promoted online, reviewed by top-notch panelists and exhibited in our New York gallery. Now entering its fourth year, the international competition has been lauded by curators, critics, educators and journalists. This year we'll sharpen our focus on fewer hot shots, giving them even more exposure.

fewer hot shots + longer exhibitions = more exposure
The competition will now be biannual. In each competition, five photographers will be selected to be part of a two-week showcase at Jen Bekman Gallery.

cold hard cash
Each winning photographer will be awarded a $500 honorarium.

ultras go solo
At year's end, two Ultras will be selected from 2008's 10 Hot Shots. The Ultras will be represented by Jen Bekman and slated for solo exhibitions at the gallery.

in it to win it
As always, we'll be selecting contenders to feature daily on the Hey, Hot Shot! blog throughout the entry period. Contenders will also be considered for 20x200, Jen Bekman's newest online endeavor which offers limited edition prints at affordable prices.
