The Joe Center for the Arts invites photographers to celebrate the art of photography. How do you capture those special places, moments, emotions, and perspectives from behind the camera? Photography allows us to explore the beauty of everyday life, the grandeur of nature and the intricacies of human emotion through the lens of the camera, often revealing the stories that words alone cannot convey. Share with us how you see the world from your own unique perspective. A total of 5 pieces may be entered for this show. All photo-based works are eligible, with no limitation as to subject matter or technique. No AI generated work is acceptable. AI can only be used in editing your image. The Joe Center for the Arts is a family-centered community-based organization. As such, we reserve the right to reject any work that we deem inappropriate to our audience.
Juror for this show: Frank Jackowiak is a seasoned, skilled photographer. As a Professional Marketing

world, tested new camera equipment, and provided memorable imagery for numerous

Frank's expertise includes the documentation of space shuttle and rocket launches for NASA as well as other aviation events.
