Thank you to all the photographers that shared their best photo showing the relationships and emotions of family through photography in this photo contest made possible by our friends at MOPA. The mission of the Museum of Photographic Arts is to inspire, educate and engage the broadest possible audience through the presentation, collection, and preservation of photography, film, and video. The Museum of Photographic Arts invited students in grades K-12 across San Diego County to enter lens-based artwork in its Annual Juried Youth Exhibition. This year, participants share what family means in the ninth installment. We Are Family explores the relationships, traditions and emotions of family through photography. View more than 80 student works alongside a selection of complementary standout works from MOPA’s permanent collection. Learn more.

A special thanks to friend and assistant curator for MOPA Chantel Paul for her collaboration as a guest judge. Chantel is the MOPA assistant curator.
