2024 Russell Township Photography Expo

Open Call for Photographers

We invite hobby, amateur, and professional photographers to submit their images for the 2024 Township of Russell Photo Expo!

Every person who submits will have at least one of their artworks printed and exhibited during the Autumn in the Country Art Festival. Additionally, they will receive a gift certificate to The SPAO Centre to further their photographic passion. An independent jury will look at all the images submitted and select 4 winners that will be printed and displayed as outdoor public art in the Township!

This year’s theme is “Best Kept Secret.” Show us the weird, beloved or unique spaces in Russell Township that highlight the best in our region. What is it that you see in the people and spaces that make it so special to you. Consider what you want to share with the world, and what mysteries you might want to keep just for yourself.

The jury will decide winners for the following categories:

• Best Youth (18 and under)
• Best Portrait
• Best Landscape
• Best Overall

Anyone from Canada can enter this competition, however all images must have been taken within the Township of Russell boundaries. A map of the Township boundaries can be found at www.russell.ca/maps.

Submissions and participation for this event are free. You can submit up to 5 photos.

To submit, visit www.russell.ca/PhotoExpo24.
