The Asian American Museum of Orange County (AAMOC) is announcing a Juried Photo Art Contest to celebrate storied images of Asian American life. We are creating a visual that highlights our vibrant Southern California Community by inviting photo artists to express their individual and/or shared interpretations of Asian America through their lenses. Just as a mosaic is composed of countless unique pieces that, together, create a singular work of art, so too is the Asian American experience. Our identity is not a monolith, but a fluid diverse, multiracial, multigenerational spectrum. Both professional and amateur photographers are encouraged to submit black and white and/or color photos for the contest.
