Slideluck Potshow DC 8 - CFA

Slideluck Potshow

DC 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. 

Slideluck 8 will be an official Fotoweek DC event and will be held at Fotoweek Headquarters, which is in Malmaison, a new (and huge) restaurant/bar/arts space opening in Georgetown. Slideluck will take over the space on the night of Sunday, November 11th, for slideshows, potluck dinner, and our always fun party. Please see the email below for directions on how to submit your work--we expect over 200 paying attendees, and this is a terrific opportunity to display your work in the District (and get into our event with a guest for free!). 

The submission deadline is Thursday, November 1st.

Submission Guidelines:  http://slideluckpotshow.com/submissions

NOTE: You will need to sign up for a free trial with Viewbook in order to submit images electronically. If you are planning to submit a movie file instead, please email me first.
