The following photographers and their works were selected by juror William F. Stapp, who served as the National Portrait Gallery's first curator of photographs (1976-1991) and is now an independent curator and consultant. Most recently he curated the traveling exhibition "Portrait of the Art World: A Century of ARTnews Photographs." He selected the following entries from a field of over 300 photographers. The work will be on exhibit and sale through the Fraser Gallery. For information and entry forms for the 2005 competition, click here.
