There’s only one week left to submit photos to the San Diego Association of Black Journalists photo contest, sponsored by George’s Camera, San Diego’s premiere photog shop.

We want you to send us pictures that you think represent the faces, experiences and lives of African Americans or people of African descent in San Diego.

Top photos will be posted to sdabj.org and be on-display to a room of local media professionals at our scholarship reception April 23 at National University’s Spectrum Academic Center.

First, second and third place photographers will be awarded $150, $100 and $50 gift certificates respectively from George’s Camera.

All submissions must be in on or before Apr. 16.

Professional photographers are invited to participate as are students, amateur photographers and anyone in the community with a good eye and a perspective to share.

Submissions will be selected by local professional photographers.
