The deadline to submit proposals for the "Pilar Citoler" International Contemporary Photography Award will be November 30. The event is open to contemporary artists of any age or nationality. Although the event will continue to be based on the presentation of one work per artist, this year¿s edition will also take into account the artistic trajectory of the participants and their contribution to the discourse of contemporary photography. The winning work will become part of the art collection of the Universidad de Córdoba. Likewise, during the months of February and March of 2013, the winning artist will present a solo show at the Sala Puerta Nueva in this Spanish city. The objective of this exhibition is to showcase a comprehensive view of the artist¿s trajectory. A monographic catalog will complement this exhibition and the winner will receive 15 thousand Euros. Candidates may submit only one photograph that has never before been awarded in any other competition.
