Shoot-Out Results



February 2, 2013

Dear Photo Shoot-Out entrant,
The results are in for the 31st Annual High School Shoot-Out. The annual contest is sponsored by the Texas A&M University-Commerce Third Floor Photographic Society. This is a student organization of the Texas A&M University-Commerce Photography Division, widely recognized as the best photography program in the Southwest. 
 1,311 prints and 13 portfolios were entered this year from 12 high schools. The judges calling the shots were Amanda Chafe and Shelly Cervantes. Both are professional photographers in the Dallas area.  They are also distinguished Texas A&M University – Commerce alumni.
Awards this year are certificates for all the winners. The First Place Junior/Senior Portfolio winner will receive a $500 scholarship should he/she decide to attend Texas A&M University-Commerce as a student pursuing a major in photography. Again this year, both winners in the Best of Show categories will receive $250 scholarships if they decide to attend TAMU-C as students pursing degrees in photography.
The judges were impressed by not only the quality the work but also the high level of design and conceptualization involved in the imagery.
We wish to congratulate all the winners and encourage those of you who did not make it into the finals to keep making photographs!
