Iowa Architectural Foundation invites all Iowa students, grades seventh through 12th to enter the photography contest “Snapshot Iowa.”
Photographs are to showcase Iowa Architecture …”Places to Remember.”
Photos should be black and white, 8”x10,” printed on photo paper and unmounted.
One winner from each group will earn $100 cash prize: seventh through ninth grades and 10th through 12th grades.
Official entry forms and guidelines have been distributed to the Clarke and Murray art, journalism and home school teachers. Entries must be sent by the student and received by March 6.
“By encouraging students to photograph a favorite building, they will begin to look at and appreciate the architecture around them,” said Mary Ellen Kimball, project chair for the Clarke Area Arts Council.
The “Snapshot Iowa” contest is sponsored statewide by the Iowa Architecture Foundation and Homes Murphy.
Local project supporters include the Clarke Area Arts Council and Kimball Family Foundation. Additional information is available from Deb Jurshak at
