You must submit your project idea and 30 photographs that are indicative of your own personal means of photographic expression. The photographs can either be taken from an already existing independent project or from an earlier project, and they should preferably illustrate your ability to tell a story in pictures or to make a documentary portrayal of a certain theme\/milieu. Edit carefully. The editorial board is looking for individuals who have a strong aptitude for telling visual stories. A general portfolio of random photos is not desirable.<\/p>\n
Specifications<\/b><\/p>\n
Set up a main directory containing all your material, and then identify it as your main directory. Designate the name of the main directory using your last name and first name, e.g. Olsen_Per<\/p>\n
The pictures<\/b><\/p>\n
30 photographs, 2000 pixels on the longest side. To be supplied in JPEG, quality 8. Black\/white pictures can be submitted as Grayscale. You must name each individual picture file, so that they are in the order in which you want the jury to view the story. For example, Olsen_Per01.jpg, Olsen_Per02.jpg, etc. Picture captions should be incorporated into the metadata, so that the jury can read them when viewing the pictures on screen. If more than 30 pictures are submitted, pictures above number 30 will be deleted and not considered. Save the pictures in the main directory.<\/p>\n
Captions<\/b><\/p>\n
The presentation\/description of the project (length: max. 600 words), as well as the reason(s) why you would like to participate (minimum 300, max. 600 words), should be put into two separate Word files in the main directory. Remember to specify your contact coordinates: email, telephone no., address and link to any website. Label these with your name as well: Olsen_Per_presentation and Olsen_Per_ reasons.<\/p>\n

The material, which should be located in ONE main directory, should be submitted to Fritt Ord using the file transfer program WeTransfer (www.wetransfer.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n Submit it to the following email address:\u00a0njp5@frittord.no<\/a>\u00a0or send the material to the Fritt Ord Foundation\u2019s mailing address (putting the digital material on a flash drive\/memory stick).<\/p>\n You are also allowed to submit supplementary material, such as books and\/or newspaper clippings.

We also attach importance to the project that the photographer chooses to use for the NJP application. In addition, the photographers serve as a group and the projects\/visual expressions have to work together in a book. For that reason, we look for variation among the photographers who apply.[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” heading_tag=”h3″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”9.
