Alton, Ill. – The beauty of the Mississippi River has touched many lives and the Mississippi River Photo Shoot Out aims to bring that beauty to a wide audience. This juried photography exhibit will bring together a collection of outstanding, contemporary photographs that are as rich and diverse as the Mississippi River itself.
The Mississippi River Shoot Out is accepting submission until February 17th, 2016. Photos can be submitted into the following categories: The River (landscapes and weather phenomena), River Wildlife, River Recreation, and River Commerce. The river does not have to appear directly in the photo but the content of the piece must be directly related to the Mississippi River. This exhibition is open to both professional and amateur photographers 18 years and older. 14 prizes will be awarded with a Grand Prize of $500 and a People’s Choice Award of $300. To view all entry guidelines and to submit photos visit www.MississippiRiverPhotoShootOut.com.
