Toronto Craft Alert

Contact 918, now in its second year, creates an international online forum for photographers. Throughout the month of May, a selection of photographs submitted through this website will be showcased as part of a running video projection in the 918 Bathurst Cultural, Arts, Media and Education Centre open to all audiences for the Contact Photography Festival. It emerges as an exciting digital playground that connects photographers and communities by linking the virtual with the physical.

The aim of Contact 918 is to create new communities through the medium of photography using the Internet as a meeting ground. Contact 918 is the culmination of images from an online network of international photographers. This global initiative is an inclusive forum for photographers to become part of a video projection to be broadcast at 918 Bathurst.

THEME: PERVASIVE INFLUENCE
Photographic submissions should reflect this year’s thematic focus, Pervasive Influence. Photographers should submit images that will explore the transformation of photography alongside the shifting social, political and cultural events of our times. Contact 918, like the Contact Photography Festival, will feature images that consider the ways in which photography informs and transforms human behavior.

Entries must be submitted anytime before April 30th to ensure that they be submitted for entry for this year’s projection screenings at 918 Bathurst. By submitting an entry, each entrant agrees to the Official Rules and warrants that his or her entry complies with all requirements set out in the Official Rules and that the decisions of the Judges are final and binding with respect to all matters related to Contact 918.
