About Jostens Photo Contest
The annual Jostens Photo Contest celebrates the creative and innovative talents of student photographers from schools across the country. The competition also empowers students to capture their school experiences and share the stories of their school communities through photography.
Thousands of student photographers from across the country firstly submit entries to be judged by a panel of judges. Accordingly, these judges consist of professional photographers and photography instructors. These judges then focus on storytelling, quality, showstoppers, originality, and thoughtfulness.
The 2020 contest consists of nine categories: Academics & Community Service; Graduation; Landscape; Photo Illustration & Manipulation; Portrait; Sports: Athletes in Action; Sports: Sidelines & School Spirit; Student Life & Traditions and Yearbookers in Action. The best of the best in these categories are the photos that are then displayed in the Jostens Look Book.
