About the contest
To add to the public’s appreciation of New York’s cityscape, and to encourage photographers to share their visions of America’s greatest city, the New-York Historical Society initiate d its Times Square photography contest: an open competition in which anyone could submit views of the architecture, people, billboards and bustle of the gaudiest and most celebrated district in Manhattan.
A panel of distinguished judges—society photographer Mary Hilliard, muralist Richard Haas and Times Square photographer and collector Barney Ingoglia — announced the three winners of the contest.
All photographs submitted by the contestants may become part of the New-York Historical Society’s permanent collection. The photographs of the 29 semi-finalists, including the top three prize-winners, will also be featured on Flickr, at http://www.flickr.com/x/t/0092009/gp/34549592@N02/sYAPE2
The winning photographs will also be displayed in Times Square, in partnership with the Times Square Alliance and in continuation of both organizations’ public art initiatives.
Third prize went to
Juan Beltran for “The Recruiter,”
a mysterious image evoking a moment at the long-standing Times Square Recruitment Center. The composition draws in the viewer with its interplay of direct vision, shadow and mirrored reflections of Times Square street activity.
