MO 2024 Welcome Home Project
Ends on
Deadline: November 2, 2024 11:59pm
Description: Doors have welcomed many people into their homes, places of work, local shops, and more. They make an unconscious first impression on each building we enter. We imagine each time they say “Welcome” as someone enters through their doorway. In Missouri, countless unique and memorable doors still stand in historic buildings just as they have since their installation, serving the same purpose to greet guests with their unique, historic details. In celebration of historic preservation, Missouri Main Street Connection (MMSC) is creating a poster which will feature the elegant and intricate doors in Missouri through a photography contest.
We invite you to participate in this photography contest for a chance for your community and photo to be included in our “Welcome Home” poster and “Memories on Main Street” publication.
Photographic submissions may be Analog/Film: Fine Art; Architecture: Buildings, Historic, and Other.
Each submission should be focused on a historic, architecturally unique, or meaningful doors in a historic commercial district in Missouri. Additionally, each submission should include a short bio statement with mention of your connection to Missouri and a narrative that will serve as the foundation for a caption for the judges to learn more about why this photo was submitted.
We are curious about the connections between historic places and the human experience with a specific emphasis on Missouri’s Main Streets role.
For submission guidelines and more details, visit our website.
