A photography contest during COVID-19

Submissions accepted June 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020
Public Exhibition Place & Dates: TBD

How do we connect when we are physically distant? While COVID 19 continues to impact lives around the world, we have the opportunity to document this life-altering event in a very personal way through photography and our stories: how it affects our families, our work, our community, and our daily lives.
A juried exhibition of 20 photographs selected by an arts community committee will be at a location and time to be determined. At the end of the exhibit the framed prints will be returned to the photographers. All contest entries will be archived with Historic Newton so that residents in the future can learn about life in Newton during the COVID-19 pandemic.
