Duckrabbit Digital has announced the winners of its inaugural Portfolio Project contest, naming ten photographers from across the U.S.A. the best of a large submission pool. Duckrabbit Digital is an artisan black-and-white printer, providing high-quality prints to photographers and artists from all over the world. 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 produced an unexpectedly large response, with submitting artists from almost every US state, as well as from Canada and Europe. The ten winners include Erin Goldberger (for “South of France” - reproduced above), Craig Blankenhorn, Lucas Cotterman, Vivienne Maricevic, Guillermo Martin, Michael Knapstein, Allan Ayres, Yu-Chen Chiu, Arlo Valera and Danielle Baudassi. You will be able to buy limited-edition prints of the ten winning works via Duckrabbit Digital’s website in the coming weeks (the photo above can already be ordered).

Duckrabbit Digital Announces Winners of 2010 Portfolio Project Contest

Duckrabbit Digital, the artisan black-and-white printer, announced the winners of its 2010 Portfolio Project Contest. After receiving unprecedented response, a panel of New York-based artists selected ten photographs as the best of the bunch. The photographs will be sold on the Duckrabbit Digital website in limited editions of twenty prints.

Brooklyn, NY (PRWEB) August 2, 2010

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.

Duckrabbit Digital is an artisan black-and-white printer, providing high-quality prints to photographers and artists from all over the country and the world. They use the specialized Piezography Neutral K7 ink-set, an acclaimed alternative to mainstream ink-sets. The K7 Neutral set achieves depth and tone in black-and-white images that cannot be matched by sets designed for both color and black-and-white. Though its printing practices are leading-edge, Duckrabbit Digital considers itself an “online printer, with brick-and-mortar values.”

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.
