From elation and joy to sadness and despair, from persistence and confidence to doubt and hesitation, the human spirit is boundless. These experiences fuel the soul and serve as a springboard for creative inspiration. The CPA SOTA Online Juried Competition welcomes imagery that highlights the human spirit as a major creative component. These moments may emanate from within the artist as defining revelations of one’s creative journey, or they may document evidence of successes and shortcomings in everyday life. Whether found within private, intimate spaces or as part of the natural landscape or the inner city, here’s your opportunity to share thoughtful and provocative imagery with a large audience.

We are honored to have Ann Hazels, Director, Radius Gallery, Santa Cruz, and photographer, educator and CPA Assistant Director, Rick Murai as jurors for this competition. They bring a deep appreciation and a broad understanding of diverse photographic mediums, genres and techniques.
