MARKETING & PUBLICITY:
The Art of Photography Show 2009 will be pursuing an intensive marketing and
publicity campaign to bring maximum media attention to the artists who are
juried into the exhibition. Over 25,000 people are expected to view the Show
during the run at the Lyceum Theatre gallery, which is open (free) seven days a
week. So, the artists and their work will receive a tremendous amount of
exposure by the media and the public.

ENTRY FEE:
$25 for the first entry, $10 for each additional entry. The entire registration,
upload, and payment process can be done securely right on the website.

DISCOUNT:
Artists who entered work in any previous Art of Photography Show or Art of
Digital Show will receive a $15 discount on their first entry in the Art of
Photography Show 2009.

SHOW CATALOG:
We are producing a superb Show Catalog, which will feature every image in the
Show and an artist statement about the work. Artists who are in the Show can
obtain as many copies of the Show Catalog as they like for free, which can be
used for promotion and marketing of their work.

SALES:
One of our key aims is to sell the work that is exhibited at The Art of
Photography Show 2009. Our great love of this art form (and being photographic
artists ourselves) prompts us to 'pull out all of the stops' in order to
showcase a truly excellent presentation of photographic art, to elevate and
promote this art form, and to provide substantial benefits to the exhibiting
artists.
