BOOTHBAY HARBOR — Entries are being taken for the Maine Photography Show, a statewide juried exhibition of fine photography open to all amateur and professional photographers with a Maine address.

Deadline is midnight Feb. 1.

There are four categories: black and white, color, abstract and student (18 and younger), which includes photography in any of the categories. Each photographer may enter only three images total.

Judges and the MPS Committee define abstract images as ones that “capture form and design elements in any way you can imagine and we’ve never seen before.”

“Abstract photography is photographic images that can contain shapes, colors, lines, and other design elements where the subject and reference to the world is not immediately evident,” they add.

The seventh annual Maine Photography Show will be judged by Andre Gallant of Saint John, New Brunswick, a freelance photographer who travels worldwide. He is the author of “Photographing People at Home and Around the World,” “Destinations: A Photographer’s Journey” and “Dreamscapes: Exploring Photo Montages.”

More than $1,000 in prizes will be awarded.

The 2012 Maine Photography Show will open to the public on Saturday, April 14, and continue through May 5, at the Boothbay Region Art Foundation gallery at One Townsend Ave.
