The Photographers’ Gallery has now opened submissions for any photographer or artist who graduated in 2010 from a UK visual arts course, at BA or MA level, to apply online at http://freshfacedwildeyed.photonet.org.uk/ for the chance to be included in FreshFacedandWildEyed2011.

2011 marks the fourth year of FreshFacedandWildEyed, The Photographers’ Gallery’s annual showcase of graduate and postgraduate photography. Building on the Gallery’s commitment to supporting new talent, and in recognition of the remarkable quality of photographic courses across the UK, FreshFacedandWildEyed2011 provides a platform for those photographers and artists who are producing particularly strong and innovative work.

This year, FreshFacedandWildEyed2011 will take place online while The Photographers’ Gallery undergoes extensive redevelopment. The Gallery will reopen its transformed building on Ramillies Street, just off Oxford Street, to the public late this year complete with three dedicated galleries, an education floor and improved Bookshop, Print Sales and Café.

The judging panel for 2011 is: Edmund Clark, photographer; Tim Clark, editor-in-chief of 1000 Words Photography Magazine; Louise Clements, Artistic Director at QUAD and FORMAT International Photography Festival; and Brett Rogers, Director, The Photographers’ Gallery. Judging will take place on 28 and 29 June 2011 with the selected work presented online from 6 July 2011.

Applicants can submit up to 8 images, in jpeg format and no larger than 1MB each, with the medium, title, and date of each work. They should also supply basic personal information, including details of the course they recently graduated from and their tutor’s name and contact details. There is space (100 words maximum) to provide additional information about their project or their work in general. The deadline for submissions is 18.00, Friday 24 June 2011.

The Photographers’ Gallery is dedicated to exhibiting, educating and engaging people with photography and has always actively supported emerging photographic talent in the UK. As well as FreshFacedandWildEyed it also presents The Photographers’ Gallery Graduate Award (1998 – ongoing), an annual award for students from the MA Course in Photography at the Royal College of Art.
