San Joaquin Valley Photography Contest: Prize Money Available!


Attention Photographers!


$500 - Theme Show Contest - $500

The San Joaquin Valley Project: Year I

The Photographers’ Gallery is pleased to announce a special event.

Our next scheduled theme show, The San Joaquin Valley Project just got more interesting. $500 in prize money was recently donated to insure that we get the best pictures possible which depict and celebrate our Valley. We will be looking for images that portray the full range of life in our little corner of the world, for example: the people (e.g., culture, events), the places (e.g., landscapes, cityscapes), the things (e.g., architecture, machinery), the flora (e.g., farming, nature), and the fauna (e.g., wildlife, domestic animals).

Prize Money: The prize money will be awarded in the following manner:

1st Place: $175

2nd Place $100

3rd Place: $ 50

Honorable Mentions (7) $25

September 11 & 12: Accepted images will be received at the gallery. (10 am to 5 pm Friday, and 11 am to 2pm Saturday). All entries must be framed and ready to hang with a wire hanger. No saw-tooth or hook hangers will be accepted.
