"A Day at School"

This Spring, the Pennsylvania Department was proud to sponsor its 2nd annual photography contest open to all high school students in Allegheny County. The Pennsylvania Department is home to the Pittsburgh Photographic Library (PPL), a premiere collection of historic images of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania, representing the work of such noted photographers as Esther Bubley, Clyde Hare, Luke Swank and Frank Bingaman. All contest submissions are now a part of this collection.

Photographs were judged by Heather Brodhead, Katheryn Duda and Bob Ruschak. Prizes were a gift certificate from Pittsburgh Camera Exchange, passes to Photo Antiquities, passes to the Gateway Clipper Fleet, Pittsburgh Pirates tickets, and Pittsburgh Penguins memorabilia. Each student entering received a certificate of achievement from Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. For a month the work of the winners and all contestants will be exhibited in the display cases (first and second floors) of the Main Branch of Carnegie Library in Oakland.
