People and Places

“Photography is the story I fail to put into words.” — Destin Sparks

We want pictures that capture the most mysterious, beautiful, and powerful subjects of all:  people and places. Submissions to this category can be any interpretation on the subject, but we are looking for photography that has people or places at its center. Children, families, strangers, a self-portrait: we want to see it. Send us your best photography for a chance to win $2500 and a Pursue Pictures gallery feature. Second and third place runners up receive $300 and $200, respectively.
