The Lodi Community Art Center and Gallery (LCAC) presents its Annual Juried Photography Show and Sale. All
interested photographers are invited to submit entries. Work must be original to the artist. Works accepted into a
prior LCAC Photography Show are not eligible. LCAC reserves the right to reject any work that has unacceptable
subject matter.
Entry
You may enter up to six (6) images of original works of photographic art via our on-line “SmarterEntry” System.
Works may be classic dark room photography, digitally enhanced and/or digitally created by camera, drone, or phone. No AI generated images, battery or electronically operated art will be accepted. Access to the on-
line entry system (SmarterEntry) is via the LCAC web site. Entries require jpeg files and entry will not be complete until payment of entry fees are made.
Categories
• Landscapes – These images can encompass grand vistas of vast landscapes or intimate closeups of
natural details. These images include but are not limited to landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes,
panoramas, etc.
