Happening in the heart of Brooklyn Bridge Park from June 22nd – July 1st, 2012, Photoville is a destination for photography lovers – a purpose-built village, constructed from repurposed shipping containers, celebrating photography in all its forms and across all levels. Photoville will have exhibitors from all over the world, lectures, hands-on workshops, nighttime projections, a photo dog run (with photo booth), and a summer beer garden.

Organized by United Photo Industries, Photoville will also feature a 1,000-foot-long fence featuring photographs that capture the essence of “community,” which will be selected through a competition open to photographers of all levels. The Fence, which is being produced in partnership with Photo District News (PDN) and Brooklyn Bridge Park, will be up for the summer season, with an expected audience of more than 300,000 visitors.

The categories are: home, street, people, creatures and play. Winners in several categories will be selected by a stellar panel of judges, with great prizes that will be awarded during Photoville.

The deadline is May 9^th, with winners to be announced at the end of the month. Information.
