About the Hub's Rising Stars project....

Getting noticed in a forest of aspiring artists has never been easy. This is especially true in photography and in today's souring economy. It's often said that talented individuals will always rise to the surface. Unfortunately, that may well be society's convenient excuse for not taking the initiative to seek out and support budding artists. It would be a travesty of creativity to allow a promising artist's voice to fade for lack of attention.

Rising Stars is a non-commercial project to proactively discover today's most promising aspiring photographers, to provide a free public stage for showcasing their unique art and promoting their burgeoning careers.

Enjoy their stories and images. And then lend your personal support to nurture their artistry and promote their young careers. In this small way, we all play an important role in developing the next generation of Visionary Photographers.

"Hub's Rising Stars of Photography" is a non-commercial, educational service of Hubbard Camera LLC.

TODAY: Last Day for Rising Star Application Submission

Today is the last day for submitting applications for consideration into the Rising Stars of Photography program. The reception to Rising Stars has been exceptional. Each applicant's material will be submitted to our panel of judges on December 1st. Hopefully the first Rising Star will be announced late next week or early during the week of December 7th.

Submissions have been received from around the world and have included exceptionally creative and imaginative imagery. This will make the judges' task even more difficult, but the end result should be photographically exciting as well as a benchmark for our next round of Rising Stars.

Thanks to each participant and good luck on your review.
