Seen in Milwaukee Photo Contest: Inspired by Street Seen, the Milwaukee Art Museum's New Photography Exhibition

We challenged you – and your camera – to capture the essence of the streets of Milwaukee. Now it’s time for Milwaukee to decide which photo has accomplished this best while both preserving the spirit of Post-World War II street photography and offering a new perspective on it.

The entrant whose photo receives the most votes will be awarded a cash prize of $500 generously provided by the Coalition of Photographic Arts (CoPA).The first runner-up will receive a $100 gift certificate good for Hotel Metro, and the second runner-up will receive a pair of tickets to a Milwaukee area concert. In addition, each winner will be awarded a one year membership to CoPA and four passes to the Milwaukee Art Museum.

Winners will be contacted via e-mail on Friday, March 26. No phone calls, please.
