“Is it really the sixth year of DCist Exposed?” we hear you say. Well, we’re feeling the same sense of astonishment here at Exposed HQ.

From this year’s 650+ submissions, we’ve somehow managed to select a mere 40 top-notch photographs for the show–and we think you’ll love them. Once again, we were blown away by the remarkable diversity of perspectives displayed in our entrants’ images from in and around our great city.

Gratitude goes out to our judges for this year: DCist’s own Martin Austermuhle, Lynne Venart, Ian Buckwalter, Meaghan Gay, James Calder and Heather Goss. For the third consecutive year, we’re delighted to be working with Drew Porterfield and Long View Gallery who will host the show from from March 21-April 1. In the coming weeks, we’ll be posting more exciting details about the two opening nights. Meanwhile, follow us on Twitter or on Facebook to keep as up-to-date as possible!

If you’re one of the winners, look out for an email later today with details on what you need to do to prepare for the show.
