Imagination feeds the need to photograph. Since I can remember, I have loved to create with my mind and my hands. This desire was instilled by a mother and grandmother who shared the same compulsion. These imaginative women taught me to dream and experiment.

“I-mag-i-na-tion” is your opportunity to imagine and create. Get outside the conventional with this one. Don’t just photograph the pear; hide it underneath a cloth napkin and see what happens. Forty-five images will be selected for exhibition, and a Blurb full color catalog of the exhibition will be available for purchase. Cash prizes of $250 each will be awarded for The Juror’s Award and The Director’s Award, along with a $100 prize for the Visitors’ Choice Award. There will also be five Honorable Mentions. Aline Smithson, writer and editor of the blogzine Lenscratch, will be the juror for “Imagination”.
