HumanKind - A visual exploration of the human condition

Throughout history, every generation of theorists, scientists and artists has grappled with the ultimate quest: to understand and define the human condition.

Now our turn has come: We are looking for images that encompass the experiences of being human in a social, cultural, and personal context. Images that tell the story of what it means to be part of HumanKind - the bad, the good, the beautiful, the ugly, the exotic, the mundane, and everything in between.

Drawn from online submissions, 120 images will be selected and exhibited at The powerHouse Arena in Dumbo, Brooklyn.
HumanKind - presented by the New York Photo Festival - will be on show from December 17 to January 20.

The Rules:

• All work submitted for consideration must have been produced after January 1, 2009
• Finalists will be notified by December 5 and will need to drop-off their work at The powerHouse Arena no later than December 15, 2010
• All work must be dropped-off suitably mounted or framed and outfitted with appropriate hanging gear or it will not be included in the show
• All work must be clearly labeled (on the back side) with the artist's name and phone number
• All selected work must remain on show at The powerHouse Arena for the duration of the exhibition. Substitutions will not be accepted
• Artists are responsible for all shipping costs to and from The powerHouse Arena
