ABOUT THE APPLICATION PROCESS
This is the 11th year the review will be held and we have learned much from previous events. To guarantee a high quality experience for all, work is reviewed prior to the full registration process. This pre-screening is broadly applied and intended solely to confirm a level of proficiency and commitment suitable for the review as the number of participants is limited. If you have questions about this or anything else please give us a call.
Any questions:
Email: PHOTO@PHOTOALLIANCE.ORG
Telephone: 415.425.5608
FEES
Initial application fee: $45.00 for up to 20 images for screening.
Upon notice of selection an additional fee of $650.00 applies. This gives you 10 face-to-face meetings with reviewers of your choice which are spread across both Saturday and Sunday March 11-12.
The fees go directly to support the programs of PhotoAlliance and make the event possible.
We can work with you individually if necessary to create a payment plan. Again, call with any questions.
