The exhibition opened Friday, Nov. 6, and remains on view through Dec. 3 at 109 Fall Street in downtown Seneca Falls, according to a news release from the Seneca County Arts Council.
Photo show awards and public voting
In the advanced division, Paul Kerlan of Canandaigua received Juror’s Choice, and Joel Kerlan of Geneva received Honorable Mention. Seneca Falls photographer Samantha Sciotti received both Juror’s Choice and Honorable Mention in the novice division.
Visitors can vote for People’s Choice throughout the exhibition. The winner will receive a 2027 membership, to be awarded when the show closes Dec. 3.
