Call for Entries:
In celebration of King Koala’s first American tour, we are announcing a call for entries, “Send us your n00ds!” We are looking for candid or posed, suggestive, erotic, and punk rock photography that is sex positive, LGBTQ+ inclusive, with artistic sensibilities. Yes, that picture you took at Pride is fine, yes, that sexy drag performer photo is welcome here, yes, your kinky bedroom antics imagery will be accepted with open arms, that band you shot last weekend is cool too, and those secret polaroids in a shoebox under your bed, well, we want to see them!
Please send no more than 5 photos 2000px on the long edge at 72dpi to gratuityincluded1@gmail.com by Midnight EST on May 11. Please label your files in this manner. First Name_Last Name-Number.jpg.
About the Event:
On May 18th selected photos will be shown to a jury of your peers in front of a live audience. Jury members include Jacopo Buranelli from King Koala, DC-based photographer Diriki Rice, Nymph the Enchantress, and one more TBD. Each judge will briefly comment on the image and give it a rating from 1-5. The Winner, who must be present in person, will receive a brand new Lomography Belair X 6-12 film camera.
Following the photo slam, Jaco from King Koala will give a presentation on what it’s like to be a publisher, the artists he works with, and what he is looking for in photography and art.
To top off the evening Nymph the Enchantress will grace us with a photo op not to be missed with a real live BDSM demonstration.
Schedule: 7:30 Doors / 8:00 Photo Slam / 9:00 Jaco from King Koala / 10:00 Nymph the Enchantress
