CALL FOR ENTRIES The Art Guild invites all artists, 18 years and older (high school students ages 14-18 years may enter in the student category), to submit photographic works for consideration for “Shedding Light on The Subject” a Juried Photography Competition and Exhibition.

Light enables photographers to make beautiful and striking images. How do you use light, in all its forms, to shed light on your subject and create compelling visions? We’re looking for creativity and originality – work that reflects your unique approach and style. 

Criteria All styles from abstract to realism are welcome. All works must be original. The selection committee’s decision is final. Works to be included in this exhibition must be available from January 28 – February 25, 2018.
