It's that time again! The August edition of Dek Unu Magazine is always a contest and fund-raiser to help support the artists and mission of Dek Unu Arts to publish and promote the best of contemporary fine art photography. We do not solicit or accept outside advertising, which gives us the freedom to select artists without regard to content, connections, or career stage. It also means that, along with sales of the monthly editions of Dek Unu Magazine, we depend on this annual contest to raise most of the funds for the upcoming publication year.  

 

Unlike the regular editions of Dek Unu, which are limited to one artist-photographer per issue, the jurors select
five different artists for this special edition. "Tuŝis" is the Esperanto word for "touched" and the jury will look for manipulated photo-art that shows each artist's unique "signature." Photomontage, constructed hybrids with photographic components, antiquarian and alt-process photo creations—all imaginatively crafted fine art photography is invited. Transformations may include generative AI in combination with light-based ingredients. 



Like regular monthly issues, Tuŝis V will be published in print and online, will be promoted widely by email, web, and social media, and will be available free-of-charge online through the month of August.  International entrants are warmly welcomed and all kinds of manipulated photography are invited. Please see the complete prospectus at https://www.dekunuarts.com and accept this invitation to apply to be part of Tuŝis V  – The Artist's Mark.
