A Closer Look

Juried Competition & Exhibition

Sometimes, the most beautiful or interesting things are right in front of our eyes and we don’t even notice because we are either too busy or too afraid to take a closer look. Taking a closer look through the camera can reveal an image that can open up imaginations and interpretations,
making the ordinary, extraordinary.

All photographers are invited to submit (including high school students-judged separately).
