FotoFika All Stars

For many of our graduating 2020 students COVID19 has taken from them the opportunity to celebrate their hard work and successes in the form of their physical thesis exhibitions. Last spring FotoFika invited your students to submit their work to the FotoFika Trading Card project!  We received 385 submissions, and reached out to 134 Photography Professions to select 134 Student All Stars to review.   Reviewers include Rebecca Senf, Joel Meyerowitz, Amber Esseiva, David Campany, Binh Danh and so many more!!!

2020allstars.org is a platform for your students to submit an image to represent their accomplishments. Several institutions and individuals are contributing to the project, including the Center for Creative Photography, SPE, ICP, VCU, ASU etc.  Here are mock-up images for the physical set of cards and uncut sheets that will become part of a number of permanent collections, guaranteeing that our students will be remembered for generations to come! Inspired by Mike Mandel’s iconic series of ‘Baseball-Photographer Trading Cards’ all photo/photo-based majors/concentrators (BA/BS/BFA/MFA/PhD) graduating in the spring of 2020 were invited to submit. Mike Mandel has welcomed our emulation and will be among our contributors who will write for our “All Stars” along with Becky Senf, John Freyer, Betsy Schneider and Anne Massoni. All students are included in the complete set of regardless of this special consideration.
