The Lake Placid Institute for Arts and Humanities invites all high school students in the Adirondack region to participate in a visual interpretation of their surroundings in the Institute’s new program: “24 Hours – A Photographic Interpretation of Life in the Adirondacks”. 

Theme:  Photos must be taken within the Adirondack Park, from April 15, 2009 through April 15, 2010, and represent one hour of a day in the Adirondack Park.  Each photo must be accompanied by a brief description of when, where and why the artist chose to photograph that particular scene or subject.

Submitting Entries for Jurying:  Entries will be accepted starting on March 1, 2010 and must be postmarked or submitted on-line no later than April 15, 2010.  Entries must include the photographer’s name, age, grade, the hour the photo was taken, date taken, location of the photo, type of camera used, and the name of the supervising teacher.  Photos must be able to be replicated in 11” by 14” formats.

Awards:  Photos will be selected by an appointed jury.  These photos will be matted and framed along with the essay to be exhibited in three venues in the Adirondack region. The collection will also be included in the Institute’s online gallery.
