We are excited to announce that our January online group exhibition, “The Future’s So Bright…”, is being curated by artist and educator Bree Lamb, who for the last five years has been the Managing Editor for Fraction Magazine! To enter, all you need to do is read and respond to the following prompt with your analog photography:

There’s a lot to worry about these days, with no need to run down the long list of problematic scenarios we as a society seem to be headed for. In light of these revelations there exists the idea of taking a positive stance and tone moving forward into the New Year. It’s a choice to stay positive - and hopefully one that would be infectious. At Analog Forever Magazine we wish to promote the “forever” part, now more than ever before. So here’s what we’re going to do - let’s see what everyone’s idea of positivity is as we embrace that concept for 2020. Let’s make it something to look forward to and bring some joy and delight into everyone’s life. What makes your future bright? Images can be literal, conceptual, or metaphorical, as long as they were made with film or historical process.

We invite you to submit up to two photographs for this exhibition that capture the concept of this theme. We offer no limits to the photographs submitted, other than the fact that they are created with analog film or process. The best of these images will be showcased in an online show curated by Bree Lamb! This online exhibition will go live on our website on January 13th, 2020! Please follow the directions below to complete your submission. Good luck!

The deadline for submissions is December 31st, 2019!
