Take Your Best Shot, and Soon. Deadline for Photo Contest Approaching

Your chance to display your best images is almost here, as the submission period for entries to the 17th annual National Press Club Members Photo Exhibit begins on Monday, Aug. 1. Entries are collected in the Club’s Membership Office on the 13th floor through Friday, Aug. 12.

Pro and amateur photographers in the membership are welcome to take part. The exhibit is a display of Club members' photographic talent, but is not a contest. Photos submitted for display will be hung by the Club's Photography Committee on Aug. 31 and will remain on display though Sept. 30. The exhibit's opening reception is Tuesday, Sept. 6.

Each member may submit up to four photos. Each photo may not exceed 11 x 14” (print and mat), and all photos must be securely mounted and matted.

Members can enter black-and-white, color, or hand-painted photos. There is no restriction, within reason, on subject matter. However, the Club and the Photo Committee reserve the right to remove any photo considered inappropriate.

A full set of exhibit rules and detailed schedule can be downloaded from the Photo Committee website.
