The judging will be blind; the photographer will remain anonymous throughout the selection to ensure that each contestant is judged solely on his or her photograph. There will be four finalists chosen by our judges to move forward. We will post the top four photos on our Facebook page and allow our Facebook fans to determine a winner and a finalist. The photograph that receives the most “likes” will earn that photographer a spot on the cover of the November issue of The Art Avenue with a feature story in the magazine. The photograph that receives the second most “likes” on Facebook will earn that photographer a profile in the November issue of The Art Avenue.
