The Bellarmine Magazine Photo Contest is open to amateur photographers and readers of Bellarmine Magazine who are 18 years of age or older. For purposes of this contest, an “amateur” is a person who doesn’t derive the largest portion of their income from the sale of photographs. 

 

Each entrant may submit one (1) photo in each of the following categories, for a total of up to three (3) entries: 

 

Photos may be black-and-white or color. Each must be an authentic, original photograph taken by the entrant, for which they own the copyright.  

 

Photos must be submitted electronically. Email your photos to magazine Editor Carla Carlton with “Photo Contest” as the subject line. Photos must be at least 1 megabyte (1 MB) but must not exceed 3 megabytes (3 MB). In your email, include a description of your photo along with your name; your Bellarmine connection, if any (student, alumni, faculty, parent, etc.); your mailing address; and a phone number where you may be reached. If you are a student, please include your major; alumni, please include your year of graduation.

 

 

 

Photographs will be judged on originality, composition and technical execution by members of the Bellarmine Magazine staff. 

 

Judges will select first-, second- and third-place finishers in each category (where applicable) and may select honorable mention(s) at their discretion. First-place winners in each category will receive $100. 

 

Photographs will be featured in the Fall 2024 issue of Bellarmine Magazine and on the magazine’s website.  

 

Bellarmine retains the right to publish any submitted photograph in Bellarmine Magazine, on the Bellarmine University website and in other Bellarmine publications.
