About the Exhibit:
The Shrode Photography Competition Exhibition is a juried competition open to artists 18 years of age and older living in southern Illinois south of Interstate 70, including Charleston, IL. Eligible media accepted included photography created with photographic film, and digital images.
304 photographs were entered in this year’s competition from 78 different artists, representing 37 southern Illinois communities! 39 works were accepted representing 32 photographers. We are delighted that so many people in our region are involved in the art of photography and that we are able to offer this challenge. Awards include cash prizes for Best of Show, 1st Place, 2nd Place, 3rd Place and Honorable Mention Certificates.
