Photo Contest Details
Concurrent with this exhibit, Picturing Peace is sponsoring the First Annual Online Exhibition of Peace Photography.
All students (Kindergarten-University) and adult photographers are invited to submit their photographs electronically to the Picturing Peace web site. Any photograph representing peace is welcome. Photographers should feel free to create original work using any one or combinations of visual symbols of peace found in the K-12th grade students’ photographs.
Selections will be made for inclusion in the Lawrence Collection of Peace Photography. If mutually agreed upon, a copy of your photograph will be included in a permanent Lawrence Collection and will be accessible by researchers. The Lawrence Collection will also include students’ photographs exhibited in the Jane Addams Hull House exhibition.
Entries may be classified in one or more of the following peace categories: Nature, Light, Community, Environment, Peace Signs, Play, Spiritual, Diversity, Body, and Innocence. Photographers may also wish to create new categories of peace.
The winning images will be presented during the exhibition’s closing ceremony on Saturday, March 25, 2006 at the Jane Addams Hull House Gallery.
