Call for Entries: Gurwin's 31st Annual Photo Contest
Nearly 1000 submissions are received each year from across the globe and are judged by a panel of professional photographers for clarity, composition, subject matter, and suitability for display at the Center. Grand Prize, Honorable Mentions, as well as a Best-in-Show winner, will be awarded in 12 categories: Landscapes, Travel, People, Pets, Children, Wildlife, Nature, Still Life, Student, Altered/Enhanced, Long Island/ New York and Action/ Sports. Gurwin residents and staff also weigh in on their favorites for a “Resident/ Staff Selection” winner. Photos not selected for a prize award are repurposed as reminiscence aids, for visual stimulation and art therapy, providing a source of comfort and inspiration, specifically for residents in the Center’s Memory Care Unit and Adult Day Care Programs, making each photo submission a “winner.”
The deadline for submissions is April 15, 2024. How to Enter the Gurwin Photo Contest: Contestants may submit up to seven color or black-and-white photographs at a fee of $5 per photo.
