The Magenta Foundation is pleased to announce Year Nine of Flash Forward, its Emerging Photographers Competition.
2013 will see the return of Flash Forward Festival at its home base, Boston’s Fairmont Battery Wharf, where we bring together emerging professional photographers from around the world. Concurrently in Toronto, Flash Forward programming will focus on educational experiences targeting local high school students.
TD Bank Group, our long-standing Flash Forward Presenting Sponsor, along with Fairmont Hotels & Resorts/Fairmont Battery Wharf Boston, and enRoute Magazine make it possible for The Magenta Foundation to continue to develop additional programming components that promote and foster emerging artists. These enabling organizations help to make Flash Forward the most prestigious juried international emerging photography competition in the world.
