The Cultural Council of Cortland County (CCCC) will host its second National Juried Photography Exhibition "Through My Lens" from August 14 through September 25, 2015, at the Main Street SUNY Cortland Beard Gallery, 9 Main Street, Cortland. The gallery is a modern, first-floor handicap accessible space.

Entry fee is $35 for non-members and $28 for CCCC members, with a maximum of two entries per person. Approximately 50 photographs will be selected for the exhibition from submitted jpeg images. A Juror of Awards will select award-winning photographs after the exhibit is hung and will deliver a talk at a reception on September 4, 2015, coinciding with Cortland First Fridays.

All work must be professional-quality framed and wired for installation; shipped work must include plexiglass glazing. Print size must be between 320 and 2,400 square inches framed. All exhibited work must be for sale with a 30% commission collected by the Cultural Council. Work designated as not for sale will not be considered for awards.
