The deadline for Pike County students to enter the SlowExposures student photography contest is today, Sept. 4.
Any Pike student in kindergarten through 12th grade may enter up to four photographs. This year’s theme is “The Wonderful World of Color.”
There are four categories. Category one is red, two is yellow, three is blue and four is rainbow, which includes any other color.
Students can enter their photos in any or all categories but they may enter only four photos maximum. All photos must be taken in Pike.
The contest includes cash prizes and trophies to first, second and third place winners in each category with one grand champion chosen from the first place winners.
Pike children have been part of SlowExposures since the beginning, said Anna Evans, student photography show coordinator.

“In the beginning we felt if we could get the children to look at the beauty of our rural surroundings and value it enough to photograph it, they’d grow up with the same desire to protect it we adults have,” Evans said. “Children see the world through fresh eyes and you can rest assured there’ll be many photographic images that will stay with you long after the show is packed up.”
This year’s student show is dedicated to the memory of Deanna York, a student who entered SlowExposures every year and had an amazing talent for manipulating photographic color, Evans said. York died in an automobile accident just a few weeks after graduation.
“We all miss her so much and feel this is a fitting tribute to her and to her family,” Evans said. “I’ve been working with Deanna’s mother Anna York and we plan to feature Deanna’s work as part of the student exhibit this year.”
The photography show will be staged at the Chandler Airfield Museum in William-son from Sept. 18-27.
