Duckrabbit Digital -

"Duckrabbit Digital has announced the winners of its inaugural Portfolio Project contest, naming ten photographers from across the country the best of a large submission pool. The winners were notified last week, and Duckrabbit Digital will be releasing their winning works, one a week, in limited print runs, for sale on the Duckrabbit website. Each photograph will be accompanied by an interview with the artist, providing insight into the stories and personalities behind the images. . .

The 2010 Portfolio Project was the first in what the printer plans to be an annual series of competitions meant to encourage the creation and visibility of black-and-white art. The call for artists, released in early-June, produced an unexpectedly large response, with submitting artists from almost every state, as well as from Canada and Europe. The works were judged by a panel of New York-based artists, chaired by Laurel Lueders, a successful monochromatic photographer who splits her time between New York and Berlin."
