2022 Five State photography

The Five State Photography Competition & Exhibition is a regional fine art photography competition open to any photographer living in Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma and Colorado.   

Entry was through 8"x10" photographs.  This year 549 works were submitted, and after processing, they were delivered to this year's judge, April Watson, who selected 150 works for exhibition.  $1,500 in cash prizes were awarded, works were matted and framed, and the exhibition opened as the anchor of our Winter Art Walk on Saturday, December 3.

Included on this page is a gallery of those works receiving cash and Juror's Merit awards, the statement by our juror, and the complete album of this year's exhibited photographs.  If you're interested in learning more about the project, the entry information can be found on this page.

The 39th Annual Five State Photography Exhibition opened on December 3 as the anchor of the Hays Arts Council Winter Art Walk and will run through February 10, 2023.
