Second Annual Photo Scholarship Contest: Love, Community, & Home

We now welcome photographs on the theme of love, community, & home from UC Santa Cruz students for our second annual photo scholarship contest. Examples of prospective submissions can reflect cultural pride, community well-being and empowerment, friendships and companionships, caring for our environment, and the transformative power of love when it comes to romantic relationships and radical political work.

Three scholarships will be given to first, second, and third place winners. The winning photographs will be printed 16" x 20" (minimum) and exhibited at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History (705 Front Street, Santa Cruz) in April 2019. Submissions are due Friday, February 1, 2019.
