This public, non-juried exhibition is a festival favorite. It is an opportunity for photographers of all ages and with all levels of experience to exhibit their work and compete for prizes. Everyone is invited to bring work to Piedmont Park and hang it in this one-day-only glimpse at Atlanta through the eyes of its artists. Pre-registration is not required.

Who: Photographers of all ages and any level of experience, including amateur photographers, students, and seniors

What to bring: Bring your unframed work to Piedmont Park's Bath House (by the swimming pool).

Theme: The theme for this year's My Atlanta is POSTCARDS OF A CITY. Atlanta is a rich mosaic of people, places, and happenings. If you were creating postcards to represent Atlanta, what would your images say? Would they be vibrant, moody, color, black and white? Would you think of events, buildings, people, or moments in our lives? How would you capture Atlanta's spirit in pictures? Give it some thought, and start shooting.

Prizes: Prizes will be awarded for the following categories:

Sponsored by the Atlanta Conventions and Visitors Bureau (ACVB), Showcase Photographics, Piedmont Park Conservancy and the City of Atlanta Department of Parks, Recreation & Cultural Affairs.
