Photo and Creative Writing Contest

Looking for an outlet for your creativity? Colorado Mountain College will be sponsoring a Photo and Creative Writing contest!

The Details:
Photos and Creative Writing entries must be based on Kevin Michael Connolly’s Memoir Double Take, his art project Rolling Exhibition, and his visit to CMC sites in November.

Kevin Connolly was born without legs. His work is centered around capturing the stares he recieves from strangers as he travels the world.

Requirements:
The submissions must be themed to embody shifting perspectives: changing visual, social, cultural, or philosophical perspectives.

Six winners will be chosen (three in each category):

  • Two First place prizes = $250 cash
  • Two Second place prizes = $150 cash
  • Two Third place prizes = $100 cash

All winning entries will be published online and in print in the December 2010 issue of Rocky Mountain Reflections.

Judging Criteria:

  • Depiction of shifting perspective
  • Clarity of concept
  • Depth and levels of meaning
  • Impact
  • Composition
