"CALL FOR WORK
For nearly four years Fraction Magazine has promoted talented photographers from across the globe. For nearly four years you have supported these photographers by viewing their work, giving feedback, and following their careers. As Fraction's 4th anniversary approaches, it is time to support you, Fraction's photographically diverse readership.
For Fraction's 4th anniversary issue in May, David Bram will select up to 50 images to feature in a group show of work from Fraction's audience.
To submit an image for consideration, please send a jpeg (700 pixels on the longest side at 72dpi) to fractionsubmissions@gmail.com by April 28. The subject line of the email must say "Fraction 4th", and the body of the email should include your name and the image title.
You will not receive a confirmation email or notification of whether or not your work was selected. Be sure to check out the 4th anniversary issue of Fraction Magazine on May 1 to view the selections!"
