In consideration of the disruptions imposed on lives and schedules, we have modified our Registration Guidelines to make participation in Fotoseptiembre easier for everyone this year.

These modifications are also posted in our Registration Guidelines. Please check in periodically for possible updates.

FOTOSEPTIEMBRE USA 2020 Guidelines

Registration Guideline Revision 1

Even though the registration deadline is still July 1, 2020, it is not a hard deadline anymore. The registration deadline will be flexible and we will accept all registrations until about the middle of August. Exhibitions and events still have to be registered per the information required in our posted guidelines, and image files should adhere to our posted specs. All registered exhibitions and events listings will be posted in our online calendar.

Because of this flexible deadline, we may not have enough time to produce our Quick Sheet as far in advance as we have in the past, or we may have to omit the Quick Sheet for 2020. Our online Exhibitions Catalog will be produced and posted as time permits.

Please keep in mind that the later we receive a registration, the less time we have to adequately promote the exhibition or event.

Registration Guideline Revision 2

Anticipating that there may well be a shortage of available exhibition venues in the next few months, as well as a lack of financial means to present an exhibit, if a photographic artist cannot find or afford a venue to show work, we will create individual posts in our website (online galleries) to showcase a body of work. These online galleries will be presented as posts of works submitted by photographic artists, and are not the same as our curated SAFOTO Web Galleries monographs.

For individual photographic artists, we will select and present up to 12 images from a series. For group exhibits of three photographic artists we will select and present up to 4 images from each artist in the exhibit, 12 images total. For larger group exhibits we will select one or two images from each photographic artist up to 12 images total.

Important note: We reserve the right to make our own selections from single images or series of images sent for consideration. Send images via wetransfer.com

Our Registration Guidelines still apply, with the exception of dates, times, venue name, location and contact. We will need the photographic artist’s contact information, which will be published in the calendar listings. All image files have to be submitted per the specs in our posted Guidelines.

The calendar listings for these posts will be published as soon as we receive the registration materials. The online gallery posts will be published on our website around September 1, 2020, and will remain on our website until the end of civilization.

We encourage you to pursue this option and take advantage of our website’s ample viewership. 

We look forward to your participation in FOTOSEPTIEMBRE USA 2020.
