Art and Healing
Juror/Author: Linda Litteral
I am seeking images to put in a book I am writing on creativity and the healing process. Submissions may span the full range of contemporary art practice. Images must be free of copyright or the artist must hold the copyright. Work should be about any type of trauma: Spousal abuse, child abuse, rape, incest, war, death, injury, illness, etc.
All visuals submitted must represent work that is original in design. Please choose work that reflects the books concept. An entry can be an overall shot and up to 4 details.
Clearly label each visual with your name and the number corresponding with the entry from. (1, 2, 3, etc.) If the image is a detail, please mark the image (or name the file) with the word “detail” and the number that corresponds with the entry: 1a, 2a, 3a. Mark the front to each film entry with a dot in the lower left corner, indicating the front of the slide and the correct position of the image.
A signed copy of the Entry Form & Agreement and Photo Use Agreements must accompany your submission.
From notification and the return of your visuals, you must enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope. Artists outside the U.S. may purchase international postage vouchers, but if these are unavailable, we must at least receive a self-addressed envelope. Visuals not accompanied by this self addressed stamped envelope will not be returned to you.
Please notify me if you have any change of address.
Decisions made by me on the selection of pieces are final. I will only use selected images in the book or any promotions of said book. Artists retain all copyrights to their work.
Photography Tips
Submit only the highest quality images. Original slides are always preferable, but duplicates are acceptable. Transparencies (i.e., larger format film) are preferred for best reproduction quality. Do not send digital images unless you carefully follow the parameters in the special note below. Don’t send slide scans, prints, over or under exposed visuals, or color print negatives. They will not be accepted. Do not crop visuals with tape or scissors. All visuals must be clean, sharp images with good contrast. Avoid sending visuals shot at awkward angles, with distracting or colorful backgrounds or harsh shadows. A detail is a close-up or an alternate view. Please don’t’ send alternate views as separate entries.
Digital Submission Guidelines – please read carefully
General
I strongly recommend slides and transparencies.
I will only consider using digital images that meet the strict criteria required by the printer. The digital guidelines are rigidly administered.
The printer only accepts images photographedat the highest possible resolution from no less than a 3.2 megapixel camera. They print digitally at no less than 300 DPI.
Each digital submission is inspected to be sure that its resolution has not been altered or enhanced in programs such as PhotoShop.
Do not scan an image that has already been printed, or scans of slides.
Data Format Requirements
TIFF, RAW or JPEG Format
TIFF files are preferred. RAW files (the camera’s negative format) are also a high quality option.
JPEG files are sometimes acceptable. JPEG’s are less desirable because data is lost each time a JPEG file is saved or resaved. To reduce the amount of data that is lost, select the highest quality setting when saving for the first time, then refrain from resaving file as a JPEG. Saving files in TIFF is the only way to completely prevent data loss.
RGB versus CMYK
Submit digital files in the camera’s original RGB format do not convert to CMYK: key data will be lost. However, if all you have are CMYK images, do not reconvert them to RGB, Simply note on the submission from that files are CMYK.
RAW conversion by Professional Photographers
While unaltered images are preferable, if it is necessary to develop digital negatives (RAW files), use Adobe RGB 1998 color space. Save files in TIFF format.
Altering Images
Do not alter images on a computer after you take them. Send the original version that comes from the camera. If the image needs alteration, write instructions on your printout and we will determine whether alterations should be made by the pre-press technicians.
Naming and Submitting Images
Name files using the first three letters of your last name, followed by the image number and extension. (example: Tho1TIFF; Tho1aTIFF; Tho2.TIFF) Please do not rename files on a computer by opening them and then using the “Save” or “Save as…” commands.
Files must be submitted on a CD that is readable by Macintosh computer. No other storage media will be accepted. Write your name and the book title in permanent marker directly on the CD. I will not return the CDs.
Your completed entry form must accompany each CD. Your digital entry must be accompanied by color printouts of each image.
