The SAC's Gallery 2025 Student Exhibition

The goal of this exhibition is to give Alabama high school students the chance to participate in the process of preparing work for exhibition, exhibit in a gallery space, view work by their contemporaries, meet other photographers, and win cash awards.

There is no fee to enter the Student Exhibition. The exhibition will run concurrently with the Montgomery Photo Festival exhibit at the Stonehenge Gallery, which is sponsored by SAC's Gallery, The Nine Photo Group and Stonehenge Gallery.

The Opening Reception for the Student Exhibition will be Saturday, July 12th, 2:00 — 4:00 pm, Awards at 2:30 pm, in SAC's Gallery.

Submission is open to all high school students, working in all forms of photography. There is no theme for this exhibition. There is no time limit for when the work was produced. Work must not have been entered in a previous SAC's Student Photography Exhibition.

There is no entry fee. Show us your best! There will be several $100 Merit Awards presented.
