How many images can I submit?

Every year, the Members Exhibit is one of the most anticipated events at Viewpoint Photographic Art Center. For members, the annual show provides an opportunity to present recent work that reflects the growing edge of creativity and interests. Viewpoint has the honor of presenting outstanding photographers who utilize an expanding variety of print media for an increasing audience of appreciative viewers. The month-long July exhibit poses the challenge of not only highlighting individual talent but also transforming the diverse art into an exciting collection. The Members Exhibit is consistently one of the most popular of the year.

Members are invited to submit one photograph for display. New work that has not been displayed previously at Viewpoint Photographic Art Center or other local galleries is preferred. Submissions are not restricted to a particular theme or form of photography. The exhibition display space includes both the Main and Step-Up galleries and only the first 100 entries will be accepted. In the past, registration for the exhibit has closed earlier than the announced closing date because the quota has been reached. Register your entry sooner rather than later!

The nonrefundable entry fee is $25.00 and is due with the Registration on EntryThingy. A thumbnail image of the print is required with the registration.
