2011 State Champions were announced in February, we’re just now putting up the video (in October)…

Winners list is here: http://utahphotojournalism.com/state-champions/.

Thought it might be a way to show this city some of our great work! (though, it does sound strangely similar to the SaltCity50 contest this year)

The Leonardo is looking for submissions for our People and Place photo contest. Twenty-five winners will be chosen to have their photos showcased in our new Public Photo Gallery as part of an ongoing exhibit called There, there. We’re looking for photos that:

• Action shots of people in interesting places doing interesting things
• Be taken within the 2011 calendar year
• Be sent in a jpg format and at a resolution of 300 dpi

Please include your full name, a caption for the photo, the month and year the photo was taken, and your age. All submissions should be emailed to chansen@theleonardo.orgby midnight M.S.T. on Monday, September 19, 2011.

Selected photos will be displayed for six months in the Public Photo Gallery and/or on The Leonardo website or other media channels.

We’re a little bit behind, but here’s the June winner…
