2023 Call For Images

Deadline for submissions is midnight on the 30 January 2023.

THE MAIN EXHIBITION WILL BE AN AV ONLY – ALTHOUGH WE MAY HAVE SOME OPPORTUNITIES TO PRINT SOME IMAGES

You can submit up to 5 images of New Zealand artists playing in New Zealandfor consideration for this year’s AV exhibition which will run during NZ Music Month (May 2023).

Images must be of New Zealand musicians playing in New Zealand and image must be taken not earlier than June 2021.

FromThePit is focussed on images taken at shows in an official capacity.  Usually this means you were shooting for a publication, a venue, a promoter or the band rather than ‘audience shots’ taken with a mobile phone.

See FromThePit.co.nz/info to read these details online

There is no cost to participate in the exhibition if your images is chosen.

We will select the final combination of AV pictures from all the entries. Due to space constraints we may not be able to include all photographers and images in the AV – it’s better we limit the numbers to create a higher impact AV than try to pack too much in.

The selection team’s decision is final and will be based on the combination of images submitted across all the photographers. Don’t hate on us just because we didn’t choose to include you or your favourite image(s)!
