For more than 20 years, the popular Through the Eye of the Camera annual competition has been devoted to photography as an art form. Open to amateur and professional artists in both traditional film and digital photography, the exhibition’s independent jury panel offered cash prizes in multiple subject categories.

 

This year there were 70 artists who submitted 194 entries in one of four Through the Eye of the Camera categories: (1) Animal subjects; (2) Flora & Landscape subjects; (3) People/Portrait subjects; or (4) Open, for subjects that are not included in the three major categories. 


The jury panel conferred 36 awards for the Best of Show, Best Black & White Photography, Best Film / Traditional RAW Photography, and 1st-2nd-3rd Places and Awards of Merit in the category awards.

The top 8 award winners for 2024 are:

  1. BEST OF SHOW – Paper Mill, Brunswick, GA by David Bence (Vero Beach)
  2. FIRST PLACE, ANIMALS – Birds of a Feather by Louis Jawitz (Port St. Lucie)
  3. FIRST PLACE, FLORA & LANDSCAPE – The Shroom Forest by Sharon Norris (Stuart)
  4. FIRST PLACE, PEOPLE/PORTRAIT – Contemplation by Cynthia Garcia (Port St. Lucie)
  5. FIRST PLACE, OPEN – Sunday Breakfast in Old Florida by John Furlong (Port St. Lucie)
  6. BEST BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPH – Being – Journey #11 by David Bence (Vero Beach)
  7. BEST FILM/TRADITIONAL RAW PHOTOGRAPH – Morning on the Edge by Maria Miele (Palm City)
  8. DIRECTOR’S CHOICE – Motherhood by Bob Gibson (Tequesta)

During the exhibition, on view through June 21, visitors are invited to share their own vote for their favorite work on display. The results will be counted for the annual "People’s Choice Award" given to the winner at the close of the exhibition.


“We’re very proud of our longstanding traditions of juried exhibitions, and how at their heart they have provided artists opportunities to be inspired, to expand their talents, and to be recognized and celebrated for their achievements,” says Backus Museum's executive director, J. Marshall Adams.


“This is our 29th annual juried photography exhibition, and that’s kind of mind blowing. At nearly three decades, it’s the younger of our two annual juried exhibitions! It’s a key example of how we extend the Backus legacy to new generations of artists and continue to nurture a vibrant creative community that benefits everyone.”


The competition is stiff for this exhibition because of the high quality of work submitted, and every year cash prizes are awarded for the most powerful pieces selected by the judges. Each year a new jury panel is assembled to provide independent eyes on the competition.


This year's judges include:


Tariq Gibran, the Curator of Art and Exhibitions at the Museum of Art – DeLand, Florida. With over three decades of experience in commercial, documentary, and fine arts photography, Gibran believes that art is essential in fostering human connection and the transformation of society. 


Sharon Lee Hart, a South Florida-based artist currently exploring ecology, ephemerality, and time through experimental and cameraless photography. While maintaining an active studio practice, Hart serves as an Associate Professor of Art at Florida Atlantic University.


Kirk Ke Wang, a Professor of Art at Eckerd College, a painter, sculptor, photographer and a mixed media artist. Born in Shanghai, China, Wang has exhibited his art in galleries and museums locally, nationally and internationally. His works have also been collected by museums and private collectors in the US and Asia. His studios are in Tampa and NYC.




The full list of award-winners is online.

Alex Cuba’s musical odyssey has been a search for the simplicity and soul in Cuban music. Whether it’s taking apart complex arrangements, mixing in North American influences, adding the melodic simplicity of pop music, or looking to Cuban folk traditions for inspiration, he is always exploring.

Alex Cuba is always searching, looking for new inspiration and new ways to present the familiar. He’s always creating something fresh and new, and always, it seems, getting it just right.


May 17 @ 7pm


For Joanna Connor, a life in music was inevitable. “Music chose me,” she said. “I vividly recall trying to sing like Louis Armstrong’s ‘Hello Dolly’ in our Brooklyn apartment. It came on the radio often. I knew I was small, but when I researched what year this version was on the charts, I was floored with the realization that I was two years old!”

With a current band of young virtuoso musicians she dubbed the Wrecking Crew ’23, fires were started on stages worldwide. Connor reached out to Mike Zito and Gulf Coast Records in the hopes that the music they were making could become a record.

 The Cultural Council for Palm Beach County is pleased to announce the return of MOSAIC (“Month of Shows, Art, Ideas and Culture”) this May. Now in its seventh year, the month-long celebration showcases the premier arts and cultural institutions throughout The Palm Beaches, Florida's Cultural Capital®. Offers include 'buy one, get one’ deals and up to 50 percent off discounts on admission tickets, retail purchases, and unique experiences. Participating organizations range from the Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society to the interactive Cox Science Center and Aquarium and the world-class Norton Museum of Art. With more than 25 limited-time, one-of-a-kind deals on a wide range of experiences, MOSAIC is the perfect time to visit The Palm Beaches. 


Also in May, more than 90 artists will participate in Palm Beach County Open Studios between 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 18, and Sunday, May 19. Artists will be welcoming visitors into their personal studios as well as at notable art-making hubs like Arts Warehouse in Delray Beach, Zero Empty Spaces in Palm Beach Gardens and Boca Raton, and The Peach in West Palm Beach. This event is a self-guided tour. Participating artists will demonstrate a range of art forms — painting, glass blowing, photography, jewelry making, sculpture, printmaking, and more. Allan Creary, a local West Palm Beach postmodernism artist, was commissioned by the Cultural Council to create the official MOSAIC 2024 artwork, and his resulting piece and other works will be on display at the Cultural Council’s headquarters in downtown Lake Worth Beach.
