Originating in 1975, The Paducah Photo Juried Photography Exhibition has grown from a fledgling contest to the region’s most prestigious annual photographic event. It is open to all without restrictions on size or content. It provides photographers with an outlet for their art, encouragement for growth in their vision and presentation and cash rewards for works of exceptional merit. Each year from the hundreds of works submitted, 60 to 80 images are selected for exhibition by a highly qualified juror, with 8 to 10 of them receiving cash awards. Now’s the time to submit your best recent photos and join in. Who knows… you might just be this year’s $1,000 first place award winner!
