It’s back! The Six Fifty Peninsula Photo Contest is accepting submissions through April 14. Peninsula photographers of all ages and skill levels who live, work or attend school within the 650 area code are invited to submit entries for six different visual categories:
- Abstract
- Landscapes
- Moments
- Portraits
- Travel
- Wildlife
Each category offers adult and youth divisions. Adults 18 and older must submit entries to the adult division, but youth 17 and younger (and 18-year-old high school students) can submit to either division. Entry fees include a $5 registration fee for adults plus $5 for each entry (up to 10); no registration fee for youth (use code youth), $5 for each youth entry (up to 10).
All submitted entries must be original work(s) created by the entrant and taken no earlier than Jan. 1, 2019. Use of AI tools is not permitted.
Find all the details on how to enter here. The entry deadline is Sunday, April 14, at 11:59 p.m.
Winning photos and those selected for exhibition will be displayed at the Palo Alto Art Center. Prizes include $200 for each adult division category, $100 for each youth division category and $500 best in show.
Winning images will also appear on Palo Alto Online and its social media accounts; in The Six Fifty’s newsletter and its webpages; and in the Palo Alto Art Center’s publications, website, social media and promotions. A selection of winning photos will also be published in the Palo Alto Weekly.
Winners will be notified by May 6. Photos will be judged on originality, technical excellence, composition, artistic merit and overall impact.
