The Kane County Student Photography Contest is an annual competition hosted by the Kane County Regional Office of Education every fall. This event is designed to recognize and celebrate the talent within the art departments in our high schools as well as the knowledge and support handed down by instructors.
Each week, submitted photos will be reviewed by the Photography Review Committee at the ROE. The top 10 photos will be selected and published on the ROE’s website, newsletters, and social media channels.
WHEN IS THE 2025 CONTEST?
This year’s contest will run from Monday, September 8 – Monday, November, 3.
HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE?
