Photographic Society presents 2020 High School Contest
The Berks Photographic Society encourages high school students to participate in photography contest created with students in mind.
This year, our contest will be in digital format covering four categories: Abstract/Texture, Landscape/Nature, Animals, and Portraiture. Images will be judged based on creativity, artistic flare and technical detail.
Each student may submit up to a total of 3 images. All Berks County students in grades 9, 10, 11 & 12 are eligible.
Prizes will be awarded including $250 cash and a ribbon for the Grand Prize winner. First, Second and Third Place winners of each category will get ribbons. First place in each category will receive a 16x24” gallery wrap canvas print plus a BPS member mentor session in their category.
Eligible students should email image files to HSComp@BerksPhotographic.com as an attachment using this file naming format: Category-Title-School-First name-Last name.jpg. Submit full sized jpg files at maximum quality. Include name and school in the email subject line.
