Art Opportunities Monthly (AOM) is offering a free, no-obligation 3-month subscription to introduce its new format. It is now much easier to read, a snap to search and it looks nice, too.

AOM, a monthly list of opportunities for artists and photographers world-wide, has been around for over 10 years. It is preferred by professional artists because it screens out the scams and for-profit "contests" and presents each hand-selected opp in a quick-to-scan capsulized form. It is sent in a highly search-able, freshly organized PDF directly to your email addresses.

The European Women's Lobby (EWL) is seeking photos which expose the visions of young women (under 40 yearsold ) and their world to a competition. Participants must live in a country of the European Union or a candidate member country. Deadline: June 30.

The competition seeks images that make a creative and powerful statement on the theme "My World: Visions of 21st Century Feminism."

The competition aims to encourage young women to think about the concept of feminism and what it means today and create an exhibition which highlights how feminism is still relevant to a new generation of women.

A clear description of the photograph must be included with each entry.
