All submissions will be vetted (pre-reviewed) by a Committee comprised of En Foco's curatorial staff. This gives us an opportunity to identify potential artists for our other programs as well. Then, the top 40 entries are submitted to and juried by well-known photographer, educator, and gallery owner, Michael Mazzeo of Michael Mazzeo Gallery, NYC. Fellows will then have have about eight months to continue their proposed series for an En Foco exhibition in New York.

REQUIREMENTS:
1. Your work should address issues that are relevant to your personal experience. Photographic imagery should contain a cultural consciousness that is grounded in identity and the search for a personal statement. This is completely open to your interpretation. Visit www.enfoco.org to view works by prior winners.
2. You may propose a new project idea, or propose to continue an existing body of work. Decisions will be based upon quality of images submitted.
3. If selected, your new work must consist of 15-20 exhibition-quality images. The group exhibition will be curated by En Foco staff in 2012, at which time the honorarium is paid.
4. Although not required, applicants are encouraged to become En Foco members. Basic membership includes a subscription to Nueva Luz photographic journal, a 1/2 hour in-house Portfolio Review, free admission at photo museums, discounts to En Foco workshops, and invitations to all En Foco events. Additional membership levels include more extensive benefits and substantial discounts.
