Enter the Window on Wayne photo contest

Helium Studio is delighted to announce the 2018 “Window on Wayne” photography contest as part of the City of Wayne’s Downtown Days, July 12-14.
This year’s theme is “Art-o-motive.” To honor the history of Wayne as it related to automobile companies, this year’s contest photos must include a “mobility” reference – any kind of mobility. Trains, buses, cars, strollers, bicycles, etc. It’s up to you.
Start taking photos. Photos can be taken from anywhere within city limits, but must be taken during the contest time frame, May 28 – June 24, 2018. Once you have the perfect capture, email it to Helium Studio (shopheliumstudio@gmail.com) for display on the special Facebook page.
On June 25 public voting will open on submitted photos. Online voting will run through July 1. The top 10 “Liked” photos will be displayed at Karma Coffee and Kitchen during Downtown Days, July 12-14. During this time, the public will be able to view and vote at Karma Coffee and Kitchen for their favorites.
At the end of the exhibit at Karma Coffee, the top three vote-getters will be announced and three winners will receive cash prizes! Exhibit opening and awards ceremony details are still to be determined.
