AXE PROXIMITY PRESENTS – UNSCENE ATLANTA
SEPTEMBER 17TH AT THE W ATLANTA MIDTOWN
UnScene Photography Tour Looking for Atlanta’s Emerging Artists
The UnScene Photography Tour and AXE Proximity present UnScene Atlanta, a one-night gallery event showcasing the work of Atlanta’s emerging photographers at the W Atlanta - Midtown.  Budding artists can get involved by participating in two different contests, each providing a vehicle for exposure.
ASSIGNMENT: 1.)  Using the city of Atlanta for inspiration, local artists can submit their portfolio (up to 20 photos)  for a chance to be “seen” at the Mason Murer Fine Art Gallery in 2009–an honor for any emerging artist. The winner will be chosen from five local finalists. The artists’ work will be on sale and proceeds will benefit a local Atlanta charity.
Submissions are now being accepted at www.unscenetour.com.
Deadline is September 9th. There is a $25 submission fee.
2.) Proximity, new body fragrances by AXE, is putting local artists on assignment by asking them to visually capture the new scents through photography. Atlanta participants can submit up to 20 photos that bring to life the essence of one selected fragrance, Vetyver, which is sensual, exotic and woodsy.
Five finalists will be chosen to display their best shot at the Atlanta event. One Atlanta finalist from this contest will be honored with a trip to Los Angeles to display their winning “shot” at the celeb-studded Los Angeles gallery show, “Behind the UnScene” in October.
Submissions are now being accepted at www.unscenetour.com.
Deadline is September 9th. There is no submission fee.
