Food is Love
Photographers of all levels–professional, hobbyists, and beginners! We have an exciting opportunity for you to share your talent. We invite you to participate in our Food is Love Photo Challenge.
Through your lens you can capture moments that resonate with viewers across the generations. Capture the moment when someone shares knowledge on how to plant and grow the food we eat. Capture traditions being passed down to family or friends over a meal. Capture the sense of connection people feel when they prepare a recipe together.
The truth is, there are myriad ways to capture why food is love.
Photographers, submit your photos for entry into our Food is Love Photo Challenge. We are excited to share that we have extended the deadline for submitting photos. The new deadline is noon on Monday, March 18. Winners will be notified at 5 p.m. on March 18.
Photographers can submit one photo per class, per category. There are three categories total and we will select one winner from each class in each category.
