Photo contest deadline set for Friday

The Homewood Arts Council’s Faces, Places and Traces of Homewood photo contest ends Friday, May 8.

The contest is looking for unique images of Homewood that fit in one of three categories: people, places and things (i.e. traces). Entries for the contest will be adjudicated to select first, second and third-place winners of each category as well as a Best of Show winner.

Selected photographs will be included in the inaugural exhibit of the Homewood Community Gallery to be installed at City Hall. This new program is being offered with the support of the City of Homewood, Perry Computer and Wolf Camera.

The contest is open to individuals, organizations, schools and companies and will be adjudicated anonymously. There is no fee to enter. Images must be submitted at a high resolution.

Arts council member Caroline Hubbard said she encourages all residents of all ages to turn in submissions. You don’t have to be a professional photographer to enter, she said. 

 “It’s fun to have community involvement in the first exhibit,” Hubbard said. “It’s a celebration of Homewood.”

The Homewood Arts Council is a volunteer commission of the city that is dedicated to promoting and celebrating the arts. For more information, visit facebook.com/homewoodartscouncil or email HomewoodALArtsCouncil@gmail.com.
