The tenth annual Double Exposure Juried Photography Exhibit put on by The Arts Council of Tuscaloosa will display the works of Alabama photographers in junior and adult divisions at the Bama Theatre Jan. 17 through Feb. 17.

The competition—sponsored by Harrison Galleries and American Shutterbug—is open solely to Alabama residents and evaluates the original works of photographers taken within the past two years. Submissions must be previously undisclosed in a Bama Theatre Gallery and the images selected to appear in the exhibit are chosen from digital discs submitted.

“Photographers must submit a CD, application and fee for the first round of judging. Those accepted into the exhibit are posted on our website in December,” Kevin Ledgewood, publicist for Arts and Humanities Council of Tuscaloosa County, Inc., said. “Framed works are then brought to our office in January, the show is hung, and the second round of judging takes place that will determine the winners.”

The closing reception, at which time the winners are announced, will take place Sunday, Feb. 17 from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Awards for the adult division include a $500 Purchase Award presented to the “Best of Show” as well as four cash prizes of $250. A $300 award is presented to the “Best of Show” in the junior division along with four awards of $175. Honorable mentions are also delivered during the closing reception. Purchase award winners will later receive the opportunity for a solo showcase of their work in a Tuscaloosa Arts gallery.

The exhibits in the Junior League Gallery and Greensboro Room of the Bama Theatre are open for viewing Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. as well as during theater events. For more information on the exhibit or how to enter next year’s competition, visit tuscarts.org.
