Judge: Paul Nguyen

Tuesday, February 27, 2024

Submission Deadline:

February 12, 2024

Remote Meeting (See Instructions/Get Zoom Link Emailed)


We often see our world through windows, doorways, peep-holes, gaps in trees, or other portals. Sometimes we're looking out into the world and other times we're looking inside a man-made or natural structure. The structures we look through provide natural framing for our images. Submit photos that give the viewer a sense of either looking in or looking out.


You may submit a total of three images, but only two in the same category. Categories are either Looking In / Looking Out or Open.
