Here are the general details:
Each spring, The Nora School sponsors a photography festival open to students in grades 6 through 12 from a wide variety of public, private, home and charter schools throughout the metropolitan Washington, DC, area.
You are invited to participate! Student photographers address a variety of themes in any way they choose, and a panel of professional photographers judges submissions.
The festival culminates in an an exhibition and reception (virtually this year), to which participating students and their families are invited. Prizes are awarded for first, second, and third place, with honorable mentions.
This annual event is a real favorite among students, parents, and teachers — and we hope you’ll join us again this year!
