Entries may be submitted by professional as well as amateur photographers and must relate to the sport of Thoroughbred racing in America. Any aspect of the racing experience may be depicted, including, but not limited to, racing scenes, the backstretch, and emotions of the crowd. We encourage creative and unique perspectives. A panel of judges representing both the racing and arts communities will select 35 photographs for exhibition in the von Stade Gallery. Additional photographs may be selected at the discretion of the judges to be included in the online exhibition.
