PHOTOQUEST 2024

Darlene Smith – PhotoQuest Chair

25th ANNIVERSARY JUBILEE

We are excited to be celebrating 25 years of PhotoQuest!

PhotoQuest is our Camera Club’s yearly Exhibit and “Members-only” Photo Contest that will be displayed for a month at Kerr Art & Culture Center. Our purpose is to share with the public the awesome talent of our club members, and provide an opportunity for members to offer their pieces for purchase, should they choose to do so.

This is a “judged” show, and winners will receive beautiful ribbons in each of three categories, and a Best of Show and People’s Choice award.
