Surface is pleased to announce our 14th annual Avant Guardian photography contest showcasing the top up-and-coming photographers.

Ten finalists—chosen by our editors and a star jury including Iwan Baan, Johan Lindeberg, and Offset’s Keren Sachs—will have their work published in our October 2014 issue and be featured in an exhibition. Complimentary studio time at Splashlight will be available to each winner for producing a shoot for the magazine.

The contest has helped launch the career of many celebrated talents, including Nicholas Duers, KT Auleta, Joshua Jordan, Mark Veltman, Vanina Sorrenti, and Sarah Silver, whose work you may recognize from the attached flyer (and our fashion editorial last fall:https://vimeo.com/78835771).  Know anyone that might be interested? Entries are due by July 24, under the following categories: Fashion, Architecture, Portraiture, Fine Art, and Technical/Still Life.
