Yasmeen Smalley of Bellaire High School grabs second for her fruity still-life. Whitney Pavlas of Cypress Creek High School gets third for her shot of tomatoes from her grandmother’s garden.
Winners get bookstore gift certificates and are eligible for a $1,000 college scholarship, not to mention the chance to have their work presented by local arts nonprofit FotoFest.
The theme for September is “Back to School” — anything that has to do with teachers, books, classes, lockers…you know, school. For more information, visit blogs.houstonpress.com/houstoned/high_school_photo_contest.
