AXE PROXIMITY PRESENTS – UNSCENE CHICAGO
Deadline is August 17th. There is no submission fee.
AUGUST 28th AT THE W CHICAGO-CITY CENTER

UnScene Photography Tour Looking for Chicago’s Emerging Artists
 

WHAT:                       
The UnScene Photography Tour and AXE Proximity present UnScene Chicago, a one-night gallery event showcasing the work of Chicago's emerging photographers at the W Chicago-City Center. Budding artists can get involved by participating in two different contests, each providing a vehicle for exposure.
 
ASSIGNMENT:     
1.)  Using the city of Chicago for inspiration, local artists can submit their portfolio (up to 20 photos)  for a chance to be “seen” at the Thomas Robertello gallery in 2009–an honor for any emerging artist. The winner will be chosen from five local finalists. The artists’ work will be on sale and proceeds will benefit a local Chicago charity.

Submissions are now being accepted at www.unscenetour.com.
Deadline is August 17th. There is a $25 submission fee.

2.) Proximity, new body fragrances by AXE, is putting local artists on assignment by asking them to visually capture the new scents through photography. Chicago participants can submit up to 20 photos that bring to life the essence of one selected fragrance, Amber, which is modern, soulful and sophisticated.

Five finalists will be chosen to display their best shot at the Chicago event. One Chicago finalist from this contest will be honored with a trip to Los Angeles to display their winning "shot" at the celeb-studded Los Angeles gallery show, “Behind the UnScene” in October.

Submissions are now being accepted at www.unscenetour.com.
Deadline is August 17th. There is no submission fee.
