printer friendly version

Hidden Villa has announced its first photoraphy contest for three different age groups.

Children ages 9-12, teens 13-16 and young adults 17 and over may enter photos in two categories: "Listening to One Another: Celebrating Diversity" and "Listening to Earth: Celebrating Nature."

The contest is designed to encourage children and adults to focus on the connection of people to the land and the interconnectedness of people to each other.

A panel of judges will select first, second and third place winners in each division for the two categories. Winning entries and selected finalists will be on display in Hidden Villa's Visitors Welcome Center beginning Oct. 20.

The photo contest will be held in conjunction with the first annual Frank and Josephine Duveneck Humanitarian Awards, to be presented on Sept. 28, and an exhibition of work by nature photographer Robert Glenn Ketchum. The Duveneck Humanitarian Awards have been offered to recognize the visionary work and generosity of the Duvenecks by honoring outstanding contributions of those who work toward peace, justice and preserving the natural environment today.

The contest is sponsored by the Los Altos Town Crier and the first place winners will be published, according to editor Bruce Barton. The entry deadline for the photo contest is Sept. 6. Entry fee per photo is $5 for children, $10 for teens and $15 for adults. For an entry form, call 949-8653.
