and photographic excursions. Read more about Larry at

The Theme for 2011
"Visions of The Southern Appalachians" We actually decided on
this theme before talking to Larry Winslett. With his photographic experience in the Southern Appalachians, this will
be a very good fit.
The idea behind this theme is to create images that tell a story of the Southern Appalachians - images that give the viewer
an idea of what the Southern Appalachians are all about. Images may be landscapes, people, animals, buildings, or nature.
Your image may be of something old or new, just as long as it connects the viewer with the Southern Appalachians.
Geographically, images may be taken from the northern, mountainous parts of Georgia (Including Forsyth County), Alabama, South
Carolina up to and including Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky.
Framing Considerations
Please notice the framing requirements specified in the Call for Entries. To ensure a consistent appearance to the show and a
level playing field,
framed prints must be in a black frame with a white mat covering the mat and photograph. Glass or professional Plexiglass must
cover the mat and print. Unfortunately, frames not meeting these requirements cannot be accepted. Frame Size Our hanging
system limits us to a photograph being no more than two feet wide. Height is not a problem.
