CALL for ENTRIES:
Calumet Photographic (Oakbrook), The Photographic Society of Joliet, and The Ainsworth Photography Gallery have joined forces to support the next generation of photographers by organizing a photography contest open to all current high school students in the state of Illinois.
Our goal is to showcase the work of talented high school photographers. Each student is eligible to submit two photographs into the contest (see submission form for guidelines). After reviewing all submissions, thirty photographs will be selected for the First Exposure Exhibition held at The Ainsworth Photography Gallery located at 721 Taylor Street, in Joliet, IL. Opening Reception on April 14th from 5:00 pm to 9:00pm
This is a great opportunity for young photographers to get feedback on their work, receive state-wide recognition, have their photography in a prominent gallery, and have their photographs published online. This is a juried exhibition. Students with award-winning photographs will receive prizes made possible by our generous sponsors.
So what are you waiting for? It’s time to show off your photographic talent! We look forward to sharing some amazing work.
