Calling all Photographers!
Submission deadline: March 24, 2023
Would you like to have your photo featured in the community room at Jockey’s Ridge State Park? Friends of Jockey’s Ridge is looking for submissions of photographic images of Jockey’s Ridge to exhibit in the new Visitor Center Community Room.
The Jockey’s Ridge Visitor Center has been undergoing renovations for over a year. The grand opening is currently scheduled for May 25, 2023. One of the features in the Visitor Center will be a Community Room with seating and artwork.
Vision: The plan is to use a combination of wide-angle landscape images and tightly cropped textures to make colorful groupings around the room. The images will be printed on a large format printer, then face-mounted to acrylic.
Timeline: Images need to be submitted for consideration by March 24th. Images will be selected in early April.
Technical Specs: Some of the prints will be quite large. Ideally, we would print them at 300 pixels per inch, but if the file quality is not available, we may be able to use them for smaller prints. The sizes planned are: 58” x 32”, 32’ x 28”, 15” x 27”, and 13” x 15”
Please use the link below for submissions (also includes permission for usage)
The images will be chosen by an interpretive design team with the North Carolina State Parks.
For questions, please contact Friends of Jockey’s Ridge board member, Holly Nettles at hollynettles@gmail.com or contact Friends of Jockey’s Ridge at friendsofjockeysridge@gmail.com.
