PHOTO 101 Grads: Photography Contest & Exhibit

Here at GTA Photography Classes our students continue to capture our world through exceptional imagery and have managed to set a high standard for photographic excellence. Last year, we received more than 1,000 contest entries submitted by our Photo 101 students/photographers from all over Toronto and the GTA. Well, it’s that time of year again—the fall 2011 Contest submission begins September 5 2011. Send us your favorite shots that capture those special moments in time. We want to see the world through your eyes.

 

EACH WEEK between now and the Exhibit, THREE  photos will be selected from all eligible entries to qualify as finalists for the exhibit.

All finalists will be updated weekly on our blog and grand prize winners will be announced at the Exhibit in November
