There is no restriction on subject matter. Accepted works will be exhibited online at the Photomedia Center, photomediacenter.org, during December 2009. Two Award winners (Best Color and Best Black and White) will
receive a free copy of Light Leaks magazine. Best of Show will receive a year’s subscription to Light Leaks and their choice of Holga 120Ns from Freestyle Photographic Supplies’ Holgawood Collection.

Artists may submit up to 10 pieces by CD only (no slides or prints) for consideration. Entry fee is $1 per image.
