Photographic Society of Chattanooga

2022

For 2022, the Youth Photography Showcase, which is annually sponsored by the Photographic Society of Chattanooga, had 426 digital images submitted by 77 students from 9 high schools. Due to COVID, no prints were accepted this year.

 Schools represented in 2022 were:

• Boyd Buchanan School
• Bradley Central High School
• Chattanooga High Center for Creative Arts
• Hamilton County Collegiate High School
• Hilger Higher Learning
• Notre Dame High School
• Silverdale Baptist Academy
• STEM School of Chattanooga
• Walker Valley High School

Goal
The goal of the Youth Photography Showcase is to get high school students involved in photography by highlighting outstanding photographs from high school-age students in public, private, and home schools as well as in youth groups. This is an excellent opportunity for students to share their work across all boundaries and receive recognition for their efforts.

Participation
The Youth Photography Showcase is open to all students worldwide, ages 14 through 19, and attending high school or its equivalent. As a sponsoring PSA group, The Photographic Society of Chattanooga invites entries only from Tennessee and North Georgia. There is no fee to participate in Youth Photography Showcase.     

Longevity
The local Youth Photography Showcase began in 2006, and it is affiliated with the Photographic Society of America (PSA). Entries from the Chattanooga YPS are sent to PSA for its contest, which can include entries from photo clubs from across the world.
