Dear Colleagues,

Ahead of us is the 6th edition of the International Salon of Artistic Photography for Physicians "PhotoArtMedica 2018" organized by the District Medical Chamber in Częstochowa. This year, we added a new photo category, which is "Medical Photography". We encourage you to present photographs both from the life of medical centers, presenting the work of physicians or relations with patients, as well as images made with modern imaging techniques of artistic value - USG3D, TK, MRI, OCT, etc. Such works have already been presented at the previous PhotoArtMedica Salons in the open category, and some of them won prizes.

Apart from the new category, photographs can also be submitted in the open category, where all the subjects and presentation techniques are allowed, as well as in the special theme category - this year 'Man and Landscape'. In this category, we expect works presenting the human figure in the reality that surrounds us, in the landscape understood broadly - mountain, sea, desert, in the midst of nature and in the city, where the human form complements the landscape. It is worth remembering that we have not always been a part of the landscape. For millennia we have been becoming a part of the landscape - let's care about enriching it ...
