Each month there will be a different theme or topic to explore through photography. You’ll take a picture based on the theme and submit it to the Photo Corps website. Experienced photographers (juror/mentors) will evaluate your photo and share tips to help you take better pictures.
Your photo will be posted along with those from other Photo Corps members on the NJ 4-H Facebook page along with a gallery on the NJ 4-H Flickr site. When Covid restrictions allow, Photo Corps photos will be displayed in public venues.
The juror/mentors will make their selections for the top photos each month. Additionally, the public will be able to vote for their favorite through the NJ 4-H Facebook page.
Each month, you will receive a different photography theme. April’s theme is All About Water. Think about how your photograph would represent this month’s theme. You can choose indoor or outdoor photos of water, fantasy images, or a photojournalistic photo making a statement, for example about water pollution. Your imagination will create your own unique photograph! The submission deadline is April 30th.
By the end of May, you will receive feedback on your photograph from Jurors/Mentors.
The NJ 4-H Photo Corps is open to youth in grades 4-13 (one year out of high school). You do not need to be enrolled in 4-H to join Photo Corps. There is no cost to join or participate in the program.
We look forward to seeing your creative photography! If you have any questions, contact Ellen Williams, Expressive Arts 4-H Agent, williams@njaes.rutgers.edu
