The call is out for community shutterbugs to bring out their best photos for the third annual Big Click Photography Contest and Exhibition.
The event, sponsored by Allied Arts, will take place from December and January at the Marlor Arts Center, 201 N. Wayne St., Milledgeville.
Allied Arts Executive Director Randy Cannon said the event spawned from another art show that has traditionally had lots of photographic entries.
“We actually started doing The Big Click in response to all the wonderful photography we were getting in the Oconee Area [Art] Show,” Cannon said. “Every year we’ve had better and better participation.”
Entries for the exhibition are being accepted this week from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. through Friday. The Big Click contest is open to adults who can enter up to two photographs. The exhibition will open at the Allied Arts Open House from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6, and will also serve as a holiday open house for the group.
In addition to a people’s choice award, the show will be judged by Betty S. Snyder, a former Allied Arts executive director.
“Everybody that comes to the opening reception gets to cast a ballot for a People’s Choice Award,” Cannon said. “We hope to be able to hang everything that comes in.”
At the reception, winning entries will be announced for first, second and third places that will receive cash prizes. A vote by those attending the opening will determine the People’s Choice Award. The reception and holiday open house will be hosted by Friends of Allied Arts, and the public is encouraged to attend the free event.
The exhibition will run from Dec. 6 to Jan. 31.
For more information or for official rules, call (478) 452-3950 or visit www.milledgevillealliedarts.com.
“We’ve got a good judge and we hope everybody will come out for the show,” Cannon said. “It really brings together photographers in this area. It makes for a nice show.”
