Each photographer may enter up to 2 photos for a single entry fee of $10. All photos must be framed and wired to hang, and total size, including frame, may not exceed 12” x 14”. Four divisions offer an opportunity to select the area or areas that best suit your photographic interest and style. The four divisions are:

• Division 1       Our Natural World (land, sea, air, flora & fauna)
• Division 2       Portraits (individual or group; of family members of any species; friends; and/or selfies)
• Division 3       Nostalgia/History Today (focus on things of old still with us today, i.e., historic buildings; artisans working with traditional tools; vintage objects; one generation passing skills to another; other remembrances)
• Division 4       Black & White (any subject/no restrictions)

Acclaimed Pacifica photographers Alan Grinberg, Edwin Hacking, and Sharron L Walker will serve as this year’s judges. All three have spent years traveling our Bay Area environs and around the world in search of the perfect shot.
