ENTER Your Photos in “A Wild Celebration of an Exhibition of Fine Photography”

The Art of Photography (TAOP) Network will be hosting an exhibition of the most outstanding images taken by members of TAOP from our International, NYC, Tampa/
St. Pete and Art of Seeing Sites. This year, the show will be online. We are dedicating it to and curating it for TAOP founder Jack Wild. (No, it’s not a surprise.) Save the date for our Zoom Meetup event on Saturday, August 5 between 7-9 PM ET. It will combine the gala show opening and early celebration of Jack’s 80th birthday (on August 8).

TAOP is now calling for entries to our “A Wild Celebration of Fine Photography Exhibition” Every member of TAOP may submit a maximum of three (3) of your best photos exemplifying the principals of craft and art . You are free to choose the genre, theme, color or monochrome, aspect ratio, etc. All entries must be titled for consideration, but need not be current work.
