Deadline is approaching for library’s teen photography contest

The Miami-Dade Public Library System is inviting teens, 12-19, to enter its 2nd Annual Black History Month Teen Photography Contest.

Photographs can be black-and-white or color and must capture some aspect of African American architecture, art or lifestyle in Miami-Dade County.

Entries should be un-mounted and no larger than 8-by-10 inches.

The last day to submit a photo is Feb. 6.

Judges will be looking at technical quality, artistic merit and visual impact.

Prizes, ranging from a $100 gift certificate from Pitman Photo Supply, to $35 Best Buy gift cards, will be awarded to the top five participants.
