Our 2nd annual photography contest is a way to recognize Zoe’s love of art and photography.
This year’s photography contest prompt is ‘Transitions’. Life is a continual cycle of transitions, whether it be voluntary or involuntary. It is an ending and a beginning. Transitions occur in nature, in our environment and in our personal lives. It can create anxiety and fear of the unknown. It can also lead to a fresh start, filled with promise and hope.
Take a photograph that represents transitions, and submit a written statement of 100 words or less which explains why your photograph represents transitions.
