The Youth Photography Showcase is open to all students worldwide, ages 14 through 18, who are attending high school or its equivalent worldwide. As a sponsoring Photographic Society of America club, the Photographic Society of Chattanooga invites entries only from Tennessee and North Georgia. There is no fee to participate in Youth Photography Showcase.
The goal is to highlight outstanding photographs from high school age students from public, private, and home schools as well as youth groups. This is an opportunity for students to share their work across all boundaries and receive recognition for their efforts.
The 2023 Youth Photography Showcase (in its 17th year) opens on Jan. 15 and will close on Feb. 18. This year, there are two sections: digital images and prints. There is no entry fee.

4. Photojournalism (1)
5. Color Photographer's Choice or Creative (2)
