Club members are asked to enter their best digital images and print photos in the annual show. The images will be displayed across the main 13th floor lobby from Sept. 3 to Sept. 30. Digital images are shown on big screen monitors in continuous slideshows, along with print photos mounted on fabric display panels. An online exhibit catalog presents images and photos entered by each participant. Download the instructions for taking part in the show, posted online. Entries are accepted through Aug. 21,
NPC's annual celebration of visual storytelling is an exhibit, not a contest. No judges evaluate the pictures, nor are prizes awarded. Members can enter up to four digital images and two print photos.
Members photo exhibit entry period extended to Wednesday

The Photo Team asks members to enter their best digital images and photos — those not shown in previous annual NPC exhibits — either recent shots or from earlier, in color or black-and-white. Entries may be related to your work, or from travels and local experiences, that capture important moments, people, or events. Plus, entries can show colors or perspectives not often found in everyday photos, or display a story you captured at the right place and right time.
Both digital images and print photos are entered on the same entry form. For those entering print photos, the specifications give instructions for mounting, packaging, and delivery of prints. Please note that entries are accepted from NPC members only, not work associates or family members. But feel free to bring colleagues and family to the exhibit in the main Club lobby during September to see the images and photos on display.
For the show's landmark 25th anniversary, the Photo Team is honoring Marshall Cohen, founder of NPC's Photo Committee who started the exhibit in 1999. Also in the honorary Silver Circle are Club members Christy Bowe and Jim Dandridge, who along with Cohen, contributed photos to every exhibit since it began.
In the last two years, the exhibit set participation records with well over 200 digital images and photos from more than 50 NPC members each year. And make plans to attend the exhibit's gala opening reception on Wednesday, Sept. 4. More details about the reception will be available later in August.
