(West Gallery and World Gallery)

In July, 2007, Bill Wright was invited to Afghanistan by Aschiana, an Afghan NGO, to teach photography to street kids who had been “rescued” by the organization. The US State Department arranged the trip and Wright raised funds for equipment. The US Embassy in Kabul donated a digital lab. This is the inaugural exhibit of the student work created from this project.

Maximum entry number is five images and photographers may submit either 35 mm slides (duplicate slides only) or CD images (72 ppi). Cost of entry is $6.00 per image with checks payable to Texas Tech University. Cash awards given for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.
