Each year GFWC sponsors art contests for members with an Arts Festival held in February.
The categories for members are as follows:
Photography - The World in Pictures - color or black & white in these categories:
Our World Up Close - Create a visual that offers a novel viewpoint or a macro image that takes the viewer into a whole new, tiny world. Macro photography creates photos of small items that appear to be larger than life-size. Somme common examples are bugs or parts of flowers.
Natural Wonders - Use wide angles and panoramas, or landscape images, to showcase mountains, meadows, sandhill, rivers, waterfalls, oceans, deserts or any other magnificent vista. The emphasis is on NATURAL.
Reflections - Feature an object, setting, situation, or landmark that is reflected in glass, water or another mirrored surface. These photographs capture the special moments in the lives of GFWC clubwomen as they actively meet, plan, advocate, volunteer or celebrate in groups or one-on-one.
GFWC LIVING THE VOLUNTEER SPIRIT CONTEST - These photographs capture the special moments in the lives of GFWC clubwomen as they actively meet, plan, advocate, volunteer or celebrate in groups or one-on-one.
