Gitana photography competition
Gitana Productions is calling for entries to their black-and-white juried photography competition “Eye On The Sparrow: The World Within St. Louis,” which will bring attention to the many extraordinary yet ordinary people who enrich our lives in the St. Louis region.
Entries are due March 31, 2010, and winning photographs will be part of a juried exhibit that tours the St. Louis region in 2010. For entry details, visit www.gitana-inc.org.
“Some heroes are like sparrows, people of simple means and humble backgrounds,” said Cecilia Nadal, executive director of Gitana Productions.
“An unsung and perhaps unlikely hero might be the friendly bus driver, a caretaker, someone from a different culture or even a homeless person who encourages others. We hope to capture their images and stories in this exhibit.”
Each photograph submitted to the competition must be accompanied by a 500-word description of the person in the photo, including contact information, details on why they are a “sparrow” and their neighborhood. Images submitted without a narrative will not be considered.
Gitana will produce an original play “Eye On the Sparrow: The World Within St. Louis” based on the actual stories of diverse St. Louisans. Written by award-winning playwright Lee Patton Chiles, the play will be performed at Saint Louis University from May 21 through June 6.
For more information, visit www.gitana-inc.org or call Gitana Productions at (314) 721-6556.
