Randolph Community College Foundation
Announces Juried Photo Competition

ASHEBORO--The Randolph Community College Foundation is sponsoring a Juried Photo Competition this spring with the theme "Randolph County: Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow." The competition is open to all professional and amateur photographers. The winning photos will be framed and auctioned to benefit RCCF's 2004 annual fund-raising campaign.

In addition to raising money, which this year goes toward funding a new Student Success Center at RCC, the Foundation aims to create a library of photographic images of Randolph County for public display at the College.

Photographers will compete in five categories: People, Places, History, Newsmakers, and A Look Ahead. One thousand dollars in cash prizes will be awarded as follows: Best in Show - $250; First Place - $100 (5 winners); and Second Place - $50 (5 winners). The jury consists of three respected and well-known photography professionals who will choose the winners through a blind judging process.

An entry fee of $25 for up to three submissions and $15 for each additional submission must accompany entries and be received by the deadline of April 30, 2004. Entries must be submitted as 8" x 10" prints.

All winning entries, including Honorable Mentions, will be displayed at a Gala Reception/Auction to be held Thursday, June 10, from 6 - 8 p.m., at Pinewood Country Club in Asheboro. The RCCF will print and frame Best in Show, First Place, and Second Place winners for auction at the reception.
