Sponsored by the Tehama County Photo Club in Red Bluff, the show opens Friday, Aug. 26, and continues through Friday, Oct. 28 at The Big Picture, 857 Washington St., in Red Bluff.
“We hope to bring creative and unique images from around the world together in this contest and exhibition in our small Northern California town,” said photo club president Bob McConnell. “We hope photographers of all experience levels will submit their favorite pictures to the contest.”
The award for best of show is $1,000. Awards of $400 for second place and $100 for third place also will be given.

Their work has appeared in Outdoor Photography, Elle Magazine, der Spiegel, Sierra Club, the Cure, The Wooden Boat, Nikon World and more.

Cost is $25 for the first image and $10 for subsequent entries; up to six total images per photographer. Entrants will be notified of acceptance into the exhibit by July 20.

The Tehama County Photo Club was organized in June 2005 with nine photographers meeting in a member’s living room. It has grown to include more than 75 active participants who meet monthly to share pictures, exchange ideas, and learn techniques from each other. The club, which has no dues or formal organization, participates in area events to show and sell work, and also regularly organizes photography field trips. Photographers of all levels are invited to attend. For more information, see http://sites.google.com/site/tehamacountyphotoclub.
