The Pompano Beach Historical Society is sponsoring a photography contest this month at the Pompano Beach Green Market. The contest is open to shutterbugs of all ages and skill levels, and will culminate on April 30th with judging and the awarding of prizes.

There are three categories for entries: photographs taken at the Green Market, photographs of historic sites in the Pompano Beach area and general photographs of the Pompano Beach area. Photographers may shoot in color or black and white, but all submissions must be in a minimum 8 x 10” format, ready for display. All submissions must be made to the Historical Society at the weekly Green Market. Deadline for entries is 10:00 AM on April 30th.

First prize in the Green Market category will be $100, with prizes of $75 for historical sites photos and $50 for general shots. A special children’s category will have its own $50 first-place prize (any category). All categories will have a $25 second-place prize. Winning photographs will be published in the Pompano Pelican and all submissions will receive a certificate of participation.

The Pompano Beach Green Market is open every Saturday, through April 30th, from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM in Pompano Beach’s historic downtown. The location is just north of the Atlantic Boulevard and Dixie Highway intersection.
