Calling all students from kindergarten to twelfth grade, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of the 2023 K12 Photography Contest!
This year we are introducing three unique categories that cater to your unique photography style: DSLR, film, and smartphone. We want you to utilize the best of your skills and equipment, be it your trusted DSLR, the nostalgic film camera, or the modern smartphone – we have a category for you!
Discover the Categories
DSLR
Digital SLR cameras have long been the professional photographer’s go-to tool. With advanced features to help create high image quality, DSLR cameras provide the flexibility to capture the world as you see it. We want you to let your creativity flow. Perhaps a bustling cityscape, a serene sunset, or a candid portrait of a friend – capture it with your DSLR and bring your unique vision to the 2023 K12 Photography Contest.
Film
In the age of digital revolution, film photography holds a timeless charm that truly stands apart. The aesthetic feel of grain, the vibrant colors, and the element of surprise can bring a sense of magic to your images. We’re encouraging film photographers to showcase their best work, celebrating the nostalgia and artistic flair of film photography. We can’t wait to see the results!
Smartphone
Smartphones are great for so much more than staying connected; they are a pocket-sized force of photography. With advancements in technology, smartphones like the iPhone and Android give everyone the opportunity to become a photographer. You don’t need to carry bulky equipment or understand complex settings to take a great picture, you just need to pull out your smartphone! If you have an eye for capturing stunning images taken with your smartphone, enter the 2023 K12 Photography Contest today!
