County College of Morris Announces Details on Fifth Annual Photo Contest

Calling all New Jersey high-school-age photographers: the County College of Morris (CCM) recently announced details on their Fifth Annual Photo Contest. This years' theme is "Contemporary Definition of Family," and students must submit their photographs for a chance to win prizes and be recognized at a CCM art exhibition by the April 15, 2017 deadline.

“Entries should go beyond the traditional definition of family as by birth or marriage and instead explore a contemporary, personal definition of family, such as friendship, community, nation, global village and beyond,” said Professor Hrvoje Slovenc, a photography teacher at CCM. “Contestants also are encouraged to depict all the good and bad that relationships bring."

Photographs will be accepted now until midnight of April 15, 2017. Click here to enter a photograph online. Contestants can also enter their photographs by mail. Send prints or digital files to County College of Morris, Photography Department, EH 110, 214 Center Grove Road, Randolph, NJ 07869-2086.

Contestants should include their contact information with their submission. There's no limit to the number of entries a student submits.

Finalists for First, Second and Third place will be notified on April 23, 2017. Finalists, honorable mentions, and winning photographs will then be featured in the exhibition in CCM's Art and Design Gallery in May, along with photographs taken by CCM photography students.

Contestants should join the CCM Photo Club Competition Facebook page to stay updated on news and announcements. The Facebook page will also be the place where people vote for the photo that will receive the "Popularity Award" by getting the most likes. Voting for this begins at midnight on April 23, 2017. The winners will be announced at the opening of the exhibition.
