Holy smokes! The deadline to apply to Jen Bekman Projects' photography competition, Hey, Hot Shot! is this Friday, October 23rd @ 8 p.m (EDT).

Hey, Hot Shot! offers photographers at all stages of their careers unrivaled opportunities for exposure and advancement. All entrants have their work reviewed by top-shelf panelists and enjoy the potential to be promoted online, selected for 20x200, and exhibited at Jen Bekman Gallery. Now in its fifth year, the competition has been acclaimed by curators, critics, educators and journalists alike.

The guidelines are simple: contenders submit three photographs from a single body of work using an online upload tool, with an entry fee of $60.

Incomparable Exposure:
Our panel will select five Hot Shots for inclusion in a two-week group show at Jen Bekman Gallery. In conjunction with the exhibition, editions of each photographer's work will be released on 20x200.

Additional Benefits:
Each Hot Shot is awarded a $500 honorarium.
At year's end, two Ultras will be selected from 2009's ten Hot Shots. The Ultras are represented by Jen Bekman Gallery and slated for solo exhibitions.

All entrants are reviewed for participation in 20x200; entering the competition is the only opportunity for photographers to have their work considered.

In addition, as always, our writers will select contenders to feature daily on the Hey, Hot Shot! blog throughout the entry period.
