We’re over the halfway point in this amazing and talented photography contest and cannot explain how grateful we are for all of the submissions over the last six weeks! This week was nothing different with more than 175 submissions from 13 schools.

We are pleased to announce the Kane County Student Photography Exhibition is set for 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 13, at a new location this year!

The event will be held at the Batavia Fine Arts Center, 1201 Main St. in Batavia, IL. More details will follow in the coming weeks, but please distribute this around and help get the word out!

If you are a high school student or teacher who would like to submit photos for next week, please contact Matt Muntner at the Kane County Regional Office of Education.
