Arts Centre photo contest attracts 196 entries LEAMINGTON — The Leamington Arts Centre’s annual 8x10 photo contest attracted about 200 entries this year and although the gallery was closed for much of the contest’s duration, it was presented virtually and was very well received. The contest, sponsored by Framing by Anna and Speedprint, celebrated its 19th year with this event. The exhibit had its debut in 2004 and has been a fan favourite with patrons throughout the years. Last year’s event attracted 149 entries, so this year’s 196 shows quite a
marked improvement. The record is 253 entries, set in 2018. The contest was separated into three categories: black and white, digitally enhanced and colour. The 56 photographers involved represented 11 different municipalities across the region. This year’s judging panel consisted of Kyra Cole, Syx Langemann and Jason Amlin. Judging was based on visual impact, creativity, technical quality and relevance to the theme or category. Here are this year’s
