High Life: A WEEKLY FORUM FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS : Contest Provides Exposure for Student Photos
The second annual Orange County High School Invitational Photography Contest, sponsored by Costa Mesa High School, attracted entries from 35 students from nine schools. At the award ceremony last month at the Art Store in Newport Beach, Kristi Sutton of El Toro High was named photographer of merit, with Christopher Tran of Garden Grove High School winning best of show.
Tran took first place in the people category, and Sutton placed second and third in two of the four categories she entered.
Other first-place winners were Michael E. Tortorice of Woodbridge High in Irvine, in the landscape category; Nathan Wylie of Costa Mesa High, in the animals category; Toshi Matsuta of Woodbridge High, in the abstract category; and Kenny Eidsvold of El Modena High, for best experimental process.
Entries were exhibited at the Newport Harbor Art Museum and Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa.
