The contest will be judged by a panel of professional photographers who live and work in New York City. There will be 10 winners of the contest. One Grand Prize Winner will receive a Canon Rebel T5i kit with an 18-55mm lens (retail value $849). One Second Place and one Third Place winner will each receive a Canon Rebel T5 kit with an 18-55mm lens (retail value $549). Seven runners-up will each receive a Canon PowerShot Elph camera. All winners will also receive a certificate of excellence for participating in the contest. H and B Digital is also scheduling a photographic show at the end of the competition to display many of the photographs which will be open to the public so we can all see “The City Through Your Eyes.” The brainchild of Hershel and Benjamin, two brothers who own H and B Digital, the contest endeavors to reveal the best student photographers in New York City today. Through its stringent submission guidelines, “The City Through Your Eyes” seeks to elevate the most passionate and dedicated youth photographers, and to nurture their talents.
