In order to get young people involved in photography, PSC sponsors the Youth Photography Showcase each spring for students in grades 9-12. In 2012, prints as well as digital images will be accepted. There is NO entry fee.

There are five categories: Architecture, Photojournalism, Scapes, People/Animals, and Photographer's Choice.

The winning images from the Chattanooga area, are sent to the national contest sponsored by the Photographic Society of America, where cash and other prizes are awarded to the winners, and 25% of all the images submitted are exhibited at PSA's annual conference.

The entries to the 2012 Youth Photography Showcase were from the following high schools: Baylor, Boyd Buchanan, Central High School, Chattanooga Christian School, Chattanooga School for the Arts and Sciences, Cleveland High School, Dade County High School, East Hamilton High School, Home School-FCA, Howard High School, Lafayette High School, McCallie School, McMinn County High School, Notre Dame High School, Sequatchie County High School, Silverdale Baptist Academy, and Soddy Daisy High School.
