In order to bring together a representative collection of work from this vast array of photographers we have instituted a competition including every class of photography and from the simplest lens on the cheapest camera to the most expensive anastigmat. Bausch & Lomb Optical Co.’s LENSES or SHUTTERS must have been used to make the pictures. That is the only condition. The exhibits will be judged in classes such as Land. scape, Portrait, Genre, Instantaneous, Hand Camera large and small, etc., and every one can have an opportunity to compete.
