anyone, anywhere, any camera

Long Shot is Photographic Center Northwest’s (PCNW) annual summer celebration, highlighting photography as the shared language of today. Long Shot kicks off June 9 & 10—unite with people around the world to chase the light, and show us what you’ve seen! Choose your top 5 and submit by Monday, June 11, 2018.

Everyone who participates will have one image selected for the slideshow and pop-up exhibition fundraiser on Saturday, June 16 at PCNW. A $20 suggested donation to take part also supports our mission to create, discuss, and experience significant photography.

How does Long Shot work?

A $20 suggested donation registers you for Long Shot. Registration covers participation in the event, which includes image submission, your images reviewed by a panel of professionals, and one selected image printed on fine art paper and exhibited during the exhibition celebration on June 16. If you’d like a copy of your selected Long Shot print you can add $15 to your registration. Join participants across the globe in 24 hours of image-making worldwide. Shoot anywhere in the world, with any type of camera, between Saturday, June 9 at 9am (Pacific Time) to Sunday, June 10 at 9am (PT). Use hashtags #longshot2018, #photographiccenternw and #pcnw when posting to social media. A panel of industry professionals review submissions and select one image from each participant. All selections will be featured in our online slideshow and printed at PCNW for the exhibition celebration on June 16th. Join us for a global celebration of Long Shot participants and their images. Enjoy music, drinks and amazing artwork. The evening centers around a reverse auction, in which everyone has the opportunity to bid and take home images by local luminaries and up-and-coming photographers. Donate to PCNW that evening and go home with a unique Long Shot photograph! All are welcome to attend, whether you participated in Long Shot or not, on Saturday, June 16, 2018 from 5-9pm at PCNW.
