Our competition is held monthly at the following location:

Our judge this month is: John Hoover

For five years John worked as the Director of Photography at the
Metropolitan Center for the Visual Arts (VisArts), a non-profit community
arts center located in Rockville, Maryland, starting first as a volunteer and
then moving into a full-time staff position. The photography program at
VisArts originally began as a traditional darkroom facility staffed with
volunteers and offered a handful of photography classes for adults. John
worked diligently to expand the scope and capabilities of the program.
For his work at VisArts John was awarded the 2007 Excellence in the Arts and Humanities Award by the Montgomery County Arts and Humanities Council, recognizing the contributions he made in improving the Photography Department to the point of national recognition among
professional photographers and industry specialists.
After serving for four years as an Adjunct Professor of Photography at
Montgomery College in Rockville Maryland John transitioned into the
position of Instructional Lab Coordinator for the Photo Program.
The focus of my photography is Portraiture, Travel, and Architecture.
