About the Competition

United Photo Industries, Photo District News (PDN), and Brooklyn Bridge Park welcome their newest partner, Flash Forward Festival, as they once again join forces to curate and produce THE FENCE 2013 – the annual summer-long outdoor photo exhibition that drew over 1 million visitors during its 10 week run at Brooklyn Bridge Park in 2012.

Photographers of all levels are invited to submit their best image series that capture the essence of “community” and fit into one or more of the competition categories: HOME, STREETS, PEOPLE, CREATURES, PLAY.

All images will be considered by an internationally renowned jury and resulting images will make up THE FENCE, which is expanding this year to a new city - creating TWO public photography installations!

In addition to our 1000ft long photographic installation displayed in Brooklyn Bridge Park in NYC, we are partnering with Boston’s Flash Forward Festival, to produce a special curated version of THE FENCE, displayed along the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston – offering even more opportunities for visibility for all participating photographers.

THE FENCE in Brooklyn Bridge Park will be unveiled in June with a rollicking fun party in the park and will be on view all summer long leading up to PHOTOVILLE in the Fall - while THE FENCE in Boston will be unveiled in May at the beginning of the Flash Forward Festival!
