“We will not let COVID defeat us” has been the driving force behind making this year’s Virtually InFocus Competition and Exhibition event worthwhile and enlightening for all who played a part either as a spectator or photographer.  

We hope you will agree that the event has maintained its magnificent quality, artistry, charm and professionalism, in spite of being an all-virtual format. We hope you will join us virtually this year and again next year when, we trust, we will all be able to gather together in person.


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.

COVID-19: 20/20 PERSPECTIVE

​Photos that capture the resiliency of the human spirit in the midst of these challenging times. While COVID 19 continues to impact lives around the world we have the opportunity to document this life-altering event in a very personal way through photography and our stories. Images may show changes to daily life stemming from the pandemic and how people have adapted to, embraced and overcome those changes and the restrictions they have engendered. Photos could show: “What I did while quarantined”, essential work being done, our changing cities, towns, villages, “how I felt” and/or how we connect when we are physically distant.
