CHARLES MOORE AWARD- SPONSORED BY CLARKE BROADCASTING

Nationally renowned photographer Charles Moore lived in Columbia and Sonora during the ‘80s and early ‘90s. He was on the board of directors for the Central Sierra Arts Council and pushed the InFocus Photography Exhibition to new heights. The image chosen to win this award is based on that which is most inspirational in the spirit of Charles’ 1960s Civil Rights work and his local Mother Lode photography.
