Each artist will receive one catalogue with the option to purchase more online at Blurb.com. Select artists will receive a blog feature at the Center’s blog PERSPECTIVES. Exhibiting artists are encouraged to attend the Center’s opening reception to participate in portfolio reviews and artists’ talks.

Convozine Februaury Photography Challenge

Dust off your lenses, grab your tripod and head out in search of an image that embodies your vision for the theme "The Last Place". It is up to you to decide what that means. Images of desolation, an object that is lost or ignored, or something else entirely.

First, second and third place prizes will be awarded by the editorial team, based on overall creativity and artistic merit.

• Second Place: US$300
