Open to every NECCC club member, two photography contests with cash prizes announced by CCAA


NECCC member Cape Cod Art Association, through its Photography Center of Cape Cod, has announced two different online photography competitions with cash prizes, one for adults and one for Massachusetts high school students. All camera club members (see contest #1) and Massachusetts high school students (see contest #2) are encouraged to check them out and participate. Important to every entrant: there are no rules in these two competitions that infringe upon a photographer's rights or jeopardize ownership of entered images.

CONTEST #1: Doors, Gates and Windows of the World
Entries due by April 7, 2013
Doors, Gates and Windows: What is on the other side? All over the world, doors, gates and windows look different, show the culture of the country but also offer the intrigue of what is on the other side of them...when we open a door or gate, what are we peering into? When we look outside a window, what do we see? This competition will be looking for the most creative representation of looking through to the other side.
