The Arts Council of Lincoln County is once again sponsoring its annual Amateur Photography Competition. Entries will be accepted 10am until 4pm Friday and Saturday January 4th & 5th at the Lincoln Cultural Center, 403 East Main Street in Lincolnton. For additional arrangements, please call (704) 732-9044 or email us at artslincolnnc@gmail.com. The show will be on exhibit in the Carolina Mills and Cochrane Galleries of the Lincoln Cultural Center from January 11th through January 27th.
There will be an opening reception and awards presentation for the artists and public on Friday evening, January 11, 2013 from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm.
All entrants must be 18 years or older and must engage in photography for pleasure rather than financial gain or professional reasons. Entrants must not hold a photographer’s license or make their living at photography.
Photo entries should be original photographs that have not been reproduced for public sale and have not been exhibited in any Arts Council of Lincoln County events in the past. Entry fee is $20.00 for up to 3 photographs with a limit of 2 entry fees per participant.
Categories for photographs are: plant life / landscapes, people, animal life, abstract / special effects, miscellaneous and black & white. All entries must be framed and ready to hang. No saw tooth hangers, hooks or desktop frames allowed. All frames must have wire hangers. All work must remain on exhibit until the end of the show. Judging will focus on mood, impact, composition and quality.
Awards are: $125.00 Best of Show, $25.00 First Place, $15.00 Second Place and $10.00 Third Place in each category.
For more information, please contact the Arts Council of Lincoln County at (704) 732-9044.
