The Hal Prize photography competition 2023 Details
The competition categories are:
Analog Alternative Processes: Share your historical process photo – cyanotype, van dyke brown, gum bichromate, lumen prints, and more. If it’s old school and analog based, it fits this category.
Digital Manipulation: Pixels are meant to be pushed around. A whole new world can be created using digital manipulation techniques. Show us your composites, collages and all photographs that are digitally augmented.
Landscape and Nature: These are the subjects that are always around. No matter where you go there is a vista to behold, beautiful plant life to explore, or fungi to focus on. This category invites you to share your images of the beauty you find in the natural world.
People and Portraits: It’s easy to forget that a portrait is just as much about the artist as it is about the sitter. Share your photography of other human subjects in this category to help us understand who they are and who you are!
Animals: Whether domestic or wild; scaley or furry; slithery or on Hoff, animals have been favorite subjects for the camera lens since the beginning of photo history. Show us the majesty of the animal kingdom with photos for this category.
