Call for Entries: Recycled: Fashion, Food and Lifestyle in Advertising Photography at the LA County Fair

his year’s photography competition will call on amateur and professional photographers to submit photos of recession-conscious trends in four categories: fashion, food, home/lifestyle, and graphic arts. Just like Scarlett O’Hara’s famous curtain dress, fashionable consumer goods nowadays rely on creative repurposing and innovatively inexpensive fabrics for the budget- and environmentally-conscious American consumer. Original photos that celebrate actual products or fantasy products and lifestyle, whether unique or mass-produced, are sought for this year’s competition. Photos of an advertising or editorial nature are both acceptable. Black and white or color photos are acceptable. Photos may have text incorporated in the photo (i.e. an advertising slogan), or in the graphic arts category, be the logo that signifies the product or service. The entry form will allow for text describing the photo(s) in greater detail.
