history

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE WASHINGTON STATE HIGH SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION AND EXHIBIT

The Washington State High School Photography Competition has a grass roots beginning in the mid 1980’s. Formed by a group of high school photography instructors as a way of elevating student photography, the early competitions included only a handful of high schools, a few hundred entries, passionate instructors and eager students. The images were collected and organized by the instructors and later judged by an impartial jury. Ribbons were awarded and the final images traveled throughout the year to be exhibited at the competing schools. It was small, informal and entirely volunteer.

In the 1990’s, the event attracted sponsorship and public awareness rose due to exhibits at the Seattle Art Museum, featured articles in the Seattle Times newspaper, a segment on KING TV’s Evening Magazine, and a prestigious awards ceremony featuring Washington State Governors Mike Lowry and Gary Locke. In 2011, we received 4,015 entries from 75 schools. The final exhibit is annually featured at the Seattle Art Museum in December and January, and the Tacoma Art Museum in September.

The competition welcomed support from sponsors Museum Quality Framing, who graciously offer to professionally mat all 39 final exhibit images and host the awards ceremony; Canon Cameras, who provide a high-end digital camera as the grand prize; the Jones Soda Company, who reproduce 6 student images on their soda bottles; and the Photographic Center Northwest, who provide tuition for one of their classes to a lucky student. Kenmore Camera, a local digital and photographic dealer, awards $100 to the first place winners in each of the 13 categories, showcases the final 39 images on their website at www.kcamera.com, and helps organize the event.

This event remains largely a volunteer effort with many instructors and students devoting time throughout the year to ensure its success. The advisory board includes five active high school photography instructors: Dale Bauer, Lakeside; Doris Conrath, Tacoma School of the Arts; Sully Hester, Woodinville; Janet Neuhauser, Bainbridge and Jeff Tibeau, Kentridge. With their continued guidance and the support of our sponsors, we intend to grow this event by providing a prestigious public platform for student photographic art.
