Viewpoint Photographic Art Center is host to a dose of competition in its juried exhibition Twelve Parallels. The “parallel” theme is a play on the repetition of the No. 1 in 2011. Perhaps next year it plans on a Twelve Squared theme? In the meantime, winners for this show will be announced during the members’ reception on Friday, December 9, where the top nine spots will get cash for their photographic efforts, including a purse of more than $300 for first place.
