The Philadelphia Photo Arts Center is excited to announce A Love Supreme, 2nd Annual Contemporary Photography
Competition and Exhibition. This year’s title refers to the dramatic transformation in John Coltrane’s creative process
and sound in his legendary recording. Moving away from jazz standards to a spiritual and instinctual way of making
music, Coltrane forever changed his medium. In this spirit, today’s photographers are creating new visual languages,
pushing the medium in unprecedented and unpredictable ways, forever changing how we define photography.
Winning entries will be exhibited at PPAC from June 9 – August 27, 2011 and will be included in the exhibition
catalog. First, second, and third prize winners will receive $500, $200, and $100 in cash prizes plus a $50 gift certificate
for PPAC’s digital services. The competition is open to all subject matter and photographic processes. Work must

PPAC do not need to send entry fee. Entry fees are non refundable. All entries must be delivered or postmarked by
