Photography Contest: Deadline May 22

"The matter of art in photography may come down to this: it is the capture and projection of the delights of seeing; it is the defining of observation full and felt."

Walker Evans, American Photographer

What We’re Looking For:

This contest is for original photographs of Route 66 and the surrounding areas within 100 miles of Santa Rosa, NM. We are looking for images that capture feelings of movement: the passing of time, the passing of vehicles, the evidence of change. We are looking for carefully framed images. Presentation and intentionality matter. We are looking to include photographs that are interesting, curious, and prying.

Please review the artists we’ve highlighted on this page for guidance.
