Color in a photo has its own personality. Choosing the placement and quality of those colors gives the image character and energy. Whether it's vibrant hues or subtle pastels, the use of color can help tell your story through photography. We invite photographers of all ages and skill levels to submit to DCP's Color Play call for entry. Show how you utilize color in a powerful way to create emotion, tell a story, and add depth to your photographs.

Images can be abstract, playful, or still life, but all must feature color as a defining characteristic of the frame. Photoshop and other manipulation is allowed but keep it in the background. Let the voice of the photo be the loudest thing in the image, manipulation should play a supporting role.

Selections will be presented in an exhibition in the DCP Gallery in October 2022. Prizes will be awarded to first, second, and third places in the general category. For the youth category, first and second place winners will receive prizes.
