About: Foundry Gallery is seeking photographic submissions of the Washington Monument located on the national mall in the District of Columbia to exhibit for a month-long juried group show.

Creative Requirement: The Monument must be “framed” in the image.

Framing within a frame can add interest to an otherwise familiar object. This photography technique involves using elements within the scene itself to create a frame around a main subject (Washington Monument), creatively drawing the viewer's focus to that specific area.

Considerations: How do you feel about the Monument? From where is your vantage point? Who or What frames the subject? When was the image taken?

Enter via SmarterEntry : $15 for one, $10 each additional image up to 5

Application Deadline:June 30th
Selected Work: Must be framed with black frame and white mat no larger than 36” wide
Awards: Best in Show: $100, Peoples Choice: $50, Young Artist Under 21: $50
