From SlideLuck PotShowDC Photographers: 

The 8th installment of Slideluck DC is coming up this November, and we will once again be a featured event at FotoWeek DC. Slideluck combines slideshows from professional and amateur photographers with a potluck dinner, and provides a great opportunity to display your work to a wide audience, and to meet other photographers and photography lovers in the District. Our last FotoWeek show drew over 300 photography lovers, and we had a terrific time. 

Slideluck accepts collections of images with some common theme, combined into a slideshow with a soundtrack of your choosing. Slideshows typically have 15 to 30 images, and the running time is usually 2 to 4 minutes. We only accept (and display) images in digital form. 

We don't have an exact date for the next show, but it will be in early November. We welcome submissions from everyone, and I hope that you will consider being a part of the show. We would also appreciate it if you could share this call for submissions with your friends and colleagues. We will accept submissions through October 21st. Of course we would also love to have you attend the event, regardless of whether you submit any work.

Thank you!

Patrick McMullen
Slideluck DC
