Presents: The 2nd Semi-Annual
PHOTO 101 Grads: Photography Contest & Exhibit
Over the past couple of years, we have seen some amazing talent come through the doors here at GTA Photography Classes. Last year in November we had our first ever PHOTO 101 Grads Exhibit. It was a huge success and the talent was amazing! As a way to promote your hard work and keep you shooting throughout the year, we are holding our 2nd semi-annual Photography Contest & Exhibit. This is a chance for you (and for us) to really show off your work to your classmates, family and friends.
HOW IT WORKS:
Starting today, we will be accepting photo submissions to be exhibited at the GTA Photography Classes Studio throughout the CONTACT FESTIVAL in the month of May.
We will be having our Opening Exhibit on Thursday May 6, 2010 at 7pm.
EACH WEEK between now and the Exhibit, THREE (one per theme) 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 May.
