Members invited to show best photos in annual exhibit, on theme of climate change

National Press Club members are again invited to display their best photography, as digital images or print photos, in the main 13th floor lobby Sept. 2 - Sept. 30.

Instructions for taking part in the exhibit are now available. The entry period begins Aug. 1.

This is the 26th straight year for the exhibit. This year, NPC's Photography Team will feature images about the climate crisis. As in previous years, Club members may submit their original photography on any subject, but this year we plan to highlight images of climate change effects and mitigation efforts.

The Photo Team is seeking top-quality visual storytelling, both aesthetically and technically, either in color or black-and-white. You can display images in digital form, shown in a continuous slideshow on big-screen monitors, or as print photos, or in both formats.

You can enter up to four digital images and two print photos, using the same images for prints or digital display if you wish. Digital images and print photos do not need to be taken recently, but they must be the original work of NPC members and not shown in previous annual exhibits.

Once the exhibit is live, an online catalog will display all entries, along with photographer bios and image descriptions. As a reminder, the exhibit is NOT a contest. There are no judges, nor are prizes awarded.
