want to have your photography exhibited in a musuem?

Thanks to the Flickrblog, I recently found out about a new exhibit at The Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne, Switzerland, called “We are all photographers now” (I think it probably sounds better in French).

They are exploring how digital imaging has revolutionized the field of photography, and are inviting regular Joes and Janes like you and me to submit photos to be displayed at the museum on a digital projector.

If your photos are displayed, they will also take a webcam shot and email it back to you so you can see what your pictures looked like on the wall and if anyone was there looking at them at the time. Each week, they will also randomly select 20 pieces to print out and display on the museum walls until the next 20 pictures are chosen the next week.

It sounds pretty cool to me. You don’t have to register to submit your photography; just go here and fill in the blanks. As far as I can tell, you just have to agree to let the museum keep the digital file archived for research (non-commercial use) and, if your shot gets printed, to let them keep the print archived for similar uses. And hey, you get a picture of your picture on a museum wall to put in your scrapbook and to brag to Mom and Dad about.

If you’d like to see what others are submitting (and the pictures of their pictures on the museum’s wall), you can check out the flickr group, we are all photographers now.
