That’s right, it’s time to muscle through your procrastination, end the hemming and hawing, and get those photos in for the 2009 DCist Exposed Photography Show. You’ve had over a month to make your final choices from all the charming, intriguing, and spectacular shots of D.C. you have, and now it’s go-time. When the clock strikes 12 tonight, you need to have done the following to participate in the contest:

  • Filled out our brief application form (so we can associate you with your PayPal and Flickr accounts);
  • Sent us $5 via PayPal (please don’t do this after midnight and ask us to open up the pool for you; we’ll just thank you for the donation);
  • Submitted up to three photos to the Flickr Exposed pool.

It’s already looking like an impossible job, but our jury panel is going to stay up late this weekend pouring over the 600+ photos you’ve already entered and do our best to pick the 30 to 35 photos we think show a unique and engaging view of the D.C. area. We’ll announce the winners here a week from today, so be sure to tune in.

Of course, the winners will have to get their work printed and framed ASAP, and delivered to the Gallery at Flashpoint in time for the big opening night on Friday, February 20. Be sure to mark your calendars for March 3, as well, when the Pink Line Project will host a panel discussion for us in the Flashpoint Mead Theater.

Remember you can check the Flickr discussion board if you have any questions about the contest rules; we’ll be checking in regularly the rest of the night. Good luck everyone — we can’t wait to see how this year’s show turns out!
