ICP PhotoSLAM: Unexpected Love
Join us for the next installment in our new ICP PhotoSLAM series! During this fast-paced, open mic event, photographers, the ICP community and audience members are invited to compete in a live story telling competition, driven by photographs. Come for the chance to join the program as a visual storyteller or to enjoy the stories as part of the audience judging panel. Our returning host for the ICP Photo SLAM is Idris Talib Solomon.
Those interested in participating can sign up for the chance here.
The winning photography story will receive:
$50 A year-long individual membership to ICP which includes free admission to the museum ($75 value) An ICP Swag Bag The theme for the third ICP PhotoSLAM is Unexpected Love.
How it Works 6:00 - 6:30 PM, Library
If you want to tell your story based on the theme, Travels and Traditions, register in advance or arrive between 6:00–6:30 PM on the day of event to submit your name and images in person. Registering in advance is strongly recommended. Register as a participant to reserve a spot for the chance to share your images and tell your story with ICP's audience here. Participants can also arrive between the submission time to enter your name for a chance to take the stage that evening. Come prepared to digitally share the images you will use in your story, if selected. ICP recommends preparing 10-15 images on a USB drive and/or on a file-sharing digital link. 6:45 PM, Library
Up to six names will be blindly selected. If selected, each photographer must have their images ready to share via a digital link or USB drive immediately. Failure to produce your images will result in loss of your time-slot. 7:00 PM, Library
The competition begins! Each selected storyteller will take the stage for exactly 5 minutes. After each performance the audience will vote in teams. At the end of the evening, a new PhotoSLAM winner will be crowned!
Community Guidelines ICP does not control the content or know what stories will be shared on stage ahead of the event.
All participants will be asked to sign a community agreement prior to taking the stage. If in violation of our community guidelines, performers will be stopped and disqualified.
Viewer discretion is advised.
Tips for Photo Storytellers The theme for each PhotoSLAM is open to interpretation of the participants but your photography series and story should relate to the theme or themes. We recommend letting the images drive the story and practicing your 5-minute story ahead of the PhotoSLAM. There will be a short amount of time to digitally transfer images to the program laptop. For upload time purposes, we suggest preparing 8-15 images to use with your story. Please have a link you can share via email or bring your images on an USB- jumpdrive or an external drive. Images will be uploaded to ICP’s computer and will be projected behind the storyteller during their 5-minute slot. The photographs will be projected during the stories and a clicker will be given to the storyteller to advance each image. We cannot guarantee the ability to set images to change automatically.
