It’s that time of year again – the Photo 101 Grads Contest is about to begin! Every year we accept photo submissions from our Photo 101 graduates. In this 8 week contest we see phenomenal photographs ranging from landscapes, portraits, and wildlife to conceptual and art photography.
Last year, with great sponsors like Downtown Camera, Vistek, West Camera, exhibit printing by Colourgenics, and tasty treats from Nadege the Exhibit night was a real hit.
