In honor of our 40th Anniversary in 2013, Maine Media is holding a photo and video contest that celebrates the places that move us. Image-makers of all ages, abilities and disciplines are encouraged to submit their work. From the shores of Maine to the streets of Mumbai, from intimate portraits to desolate landscapes, show us what Spirit of Place means to you.
The contest includes categories for youth and adults in both photography and video. Over $25,000 in prizes will be awarded to the winners, including cash awards, free tuition at Maine Media Workshops, B&H gift certificates, and inclusion in an exhibition at Maine Media Gallery.
