Artists, students, professional and amateur photographers are all welcome to donate 3 (three) or more photographs that show the theme of light in any way: light as an artistic medium, subject or inspiration, representational or abstract. Image size of photographs must be no smaller than 8 x 10 inches and no larger than 13 x 17 inches and neatly hinge-matted with backing. No color mats, please. Artist's name and title of the piece should be on the back of the photo.

No entry Fees: All entries donated by the artist support Westbrook Schools Meal Project for Westbrook Youth. Each artist who donates 3 (three) or more photographs will receive one free ticket to the event. The evening will include a drawing for the displayed photographs. When the lucky ticket holder’s number is called, the guest may select a favored photograph off the wall to take home. This will continue until the photographs or tickets finish, whichever comes first.

Jurors: This year we have two jurors, Mara Lavitt, free-lance photographer and former staff photographer at the New Haven Register, and Chip Rutan, President of the Essex Art Association. Awards Given will be: Best in Show, an overnight stay at the Water’s Edge Resort & Spa ($350 value); Best in Theme, cash prize of $100; Best Use of Color, Best Black & White, Best Student Photo and Merit Awards will each receive a gift certificate/item from a local business. There will also be several Honorable Mentions. All awards will be given a web presence on both Oxford Academy’s and Westbrook Schools’ websites and social media.
