Photography Awards Announced at ACE

The verdict is in for Arts Center East’s Fourth Annual Juried Photography Exhibit. Jurors Todd Blais and Chris Huestis selected a compelling collection of photographs from the close to two hundred submitted entries. The quality of all submissions was high, making the show and award selection process challenging.

The Best in Show Award went to Gene Suponski for his poignant Pennhurst Baby. Joel Davidson’s black and white study Solitude in Jerusalem received the First Place Award. Second Place honors went to Deborah Staley’s striking Patterns in Paris. Bob Greenberg’s joyful Beach Dancer captured Third Place.

Honorable mentions were awarded to Jeff Holcombe’s enigmatic Indusium, Alyssa McDonald’s aqueous Descent and Joel Davidson’s arresting portrait Cuban Tobacco Laborer. The exhibit will be on view through March 12th.
