Photo contest

“Glass” is the theme for the 44th annual photo contest on the Brainerd campus of Central Lakes College beginning April 18, according to coordinator Larry Kellerman. The public contest has traditional photo entry categories of “landscape,” “portrait,” “action,” “creative,” “birds,” “animals,” “flowers,” and “children.” And each year there is a special theme category. Entries must have a print image of at least 5 by 7 inches and be no larger than 11 by 14 inches. A photographer may enter one photo in each category, in both in black and white and color. The photos must be matted. Each photo must have the photographer’s name, address, and phone number on the back of the print. The entry fee is 50 cents per photo. There will be a number of awards for first, second and third place finishes and overall awards for Best in Show for color, black and white, theme, and judge’s preferences. Photos will be on display near the Jon Hassler library and fine arts hallway through April 29 for public viewing. Entry deadline is Monday, April 18 at 9 p.m., with photos registered in the library on the Brainerd campus. Photo entries may be sent by mail with the registration fee to Larry Kellerman, Central Lakes College, 501 West College Drive, Brainerd, MN 56401.
