About this Show
In 1994 the West Texas Photographic Society of Lubbock chose to sponsor the only open show at the time in Lubbock, encouraging all area photographers to share their work with the community. Although the show is juried, and awards are made, the idea of competition should be secondary to the opportunity to exhibit. Photographers should choose their best three images and present them in such a way as to enhance the image.
Beginning this year, entrants may submit an electronic image of one entry for posting on our website.
About WTPSL
A small group of photographers on the South Plains organized to sponsor this show and to enjoy photography as a creative medium. Annual dues are $20. Members are permitted space on the website to present their images in a section devoted to Artists.
Pick up and Liability
The WTPSL will take all reasonable precautions to protect all works of art presented at the show. However, the artist must assume all risks for any damage or loss. We strongly urge you to pick up your work April 25.
