Riverhead - The Suffolk County Historical Society has announced a call for entries for a juried photography competition that will take place in connection with a new photography exhibition. The juried photography exhibition, entitled "Suffolk County's Landmarks & Icons," will open with a special reception on November 13, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., and will be on display at the Society (300 West Main Street, Riverhead) through December 12. Jeff Schamberry, director of photography at Newsday, will serve as the competition's juror, the winners of which will be announced at the opening reception.

The exhibition will consist of current photographic work, by contemporary photographers, that depicts Suffolk County's landmarks and icons - both natural and man-made - juxtaposed with a sampling of historical photographs from the Society's collection.

The competition is open to all artists. All work must be framed, wired and ready to hang. Framed photos are not to exceed 16" x 24." Entries without wire will not be accepted. Limit three works per artist; there is a $5 non-refundable fee for each work submitted. All work must be received at the Suffolk County Historical Society between November 3 through November 6; from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. (labeled with artist name, address, phone, and title).
