In November 2024, Briarwood photography students entered 56 of their favorite photos to the Association of Texas Photography Instructors Fall Contest. Overall, more than 6,200 photos were submitted by 120 schools from across Texas, including Arizona, California, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and Great Britain!

Congratulations to freshman Jack, who was awarded an Honorable Mention for “Water Syth” in the Beginning-Time Exposure category! Congratulations to all the photography students for their outstanding work!
The winning photo and a collection of other work can be viewed on the bulletin board outside the Digital Creativity Lab.
