The contest is coordinated by Sanchez Art Center in partnership with the Pacific Coast Fog Fest. Photos will be exhibited at the Pacific Coast Fog Fest Art Corner, Sat–Sun, Sept 27–28. Cash awards will be presented to first-place ($100), second-place ($50), and third-place ($25) winners in each of three divisions on Sunday at the Fog Fest, and an award certificate will be presented for Judges’ Best of Show. Award winners will also be invited to participate in a group show to take place at Sanchez Art Center in 2026.

Each photographer may enter up to 2 photos for a single entry fee of $10. All photos must be framed and wired to hang, and total size, including frame, may not exceed 12” x 14”. Four divisions offer an opportunity to select the area or areas that best suit your photographic interest and style. The three divisions are:

• Division 1       Pacifica Scenes (landscapes, seascapes, buildings, etc. specifically Pacifica)
• Division 2       Portraits (individuals or group of any species, together or on their own; and/or selfies)
• Division 3       Black & White or Monochromatic  (any subject/no restrictions)

Acclaimed Pacifica photographers Edwin Hacking, Alan Grinberg and Sharron L Walker will serve as this year’s judges. Each has spent decades traveling our Bay Area environs and around the world in search of the perfect shot.

There is no residency, geographic content, or age restrictions. So fill out an application and bring your work to Sanchez Art Center, 1220 Linda Mar Blvd, Fri – Mon, 1–5 pm, beginning Fri, Sept 19 through Sept 22.  The entry deadline, no exceptions, is Monday, Sept 22 at 5 pm.
