2014 NCCA-Artsplace Statewide Photography Competition

NCCA 2014 Statewide Photography Competition
Our goal is to exhibit and acknowledge the finest photographers in the State of Michigan and encourage greater growth and achievement in the photographic community.

This is a juried competition. Selected works will be exhibited and among them will be the honor of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place and honorable mentions receiving ribbons and cash awards. The 2014 NCCA Statewide Photography Competition will celebrate with a public reception and awards ceremony on May 3, 2014 at NCCA-Artsplace.

Jurors: Todd and Brad Reed
Todd and Brad Reed, are a father-son outdoor photography team based in Ludington, Michigan. Todd and Brad have a simple approach to photography. They choose subjects that touch them in emotional ways, and strive to convey their emotions through the photographs they make. They are both known for saying that good photography is all about feeling. To see and appreciate a scene in the natural world is one thing; the artists’ challenge is to capture visually the emotions of that scene and that moment. You can find their complete bio at www.toddandbradreed.com.
