The nominations for Spain’s prestigious eyephoneography #3 exhibit have been posted. Out of all the submissions received for this curated exhibit, the finalists have been narrowed down to 14 iPhoneographers. The list will be narrowed further for the four mobile photographers to be shown later this year in.

The eyephoneography #3 exhibition will open this April 2012 in the gallery of the recently inaugurated Castellana FNAC flagship store in the heart of Madrid.

Those selected for eyephoneography #3 join an exclusive list of photographers including Sion Fullana, Marco La Civita, Jordi V. Pou, Matt Burrows, ©arlein, Greg Schmigel, Isabelle “MissPixels” Gagne, and Stefano Giogli.
