2025 Axel's Photography Shoot-Out
WINDOW FOR ENTRY: Jan 15-18, 2025
Axel’s Gallery & Frame Shop is excited to once again host the Photography “Shoot-Out.”
This year’s theme is CONTRAST - the juxtaposition of differences. Chosen by Sherry Knudsen, the 2023 Shoot-Out First Prize winner.
Show us your creative and photographic talents by using contrast to convey emotion, mood, drama, messages or stories, or to make your subjects pop. We encourage you to think broadly about differences such as tone, color, texture, concepts and subjects. Think old and new, big and small, light and dark, or most any contrasting elements.
Images may be enhanced, but should not be composites and should authentically portray what the photographer actually saw.
Submission Details: Axel’s is accepting (physical) submissions between January 15 - 18, during business hours. No exceptions will be made for late entries. Axel’s Gallery and Frame Shop is open Wednesday – Friday 10:00 am – 6:00 pm and Saturdays 10:00 – 4:00 pm
Please keep in mind that in addition to how well your entry expresses this year’s theme, it will also be judged on the following:
Originality/Creativity/Imagination
Composition
Emotional Impact/Expressiveness
