Illuminance 2024 Call for Entry

Illuminance is a national competitive exhibition featuring photographic work from across the nation, and beyond. The Fine Arts Program of the Buddy Holly Center is committed to the promotion of contemporary visual arts and educational programs.

This show’s theme, Life in Motion, was decided upon by Juror Don Toothaker. Photography has long been used to capture motion in still images. Every photographer strives to communicate the beauty of the world through the photographs they produce. A simple image can be the architect of the story the photographer is trying to tell.
