The 10th Annual Exhibition Of Marine Photography International - 1957

The Mariners Museum, Newport, Virginia

A very successful judging of prints took place at the Mariners Museum. The judges enjoyed their work and carefully considered each entry. They concentrated on selecting the scenes, which most clearly carried out the purpose of the Exhibition pf Marine Photography: to encourage a greater interest in the creation of documentary and artistic maritime photographs.

Ninety-one monochrome prints were accepted for hanging. Fifty of the accepted prints were selected to be displayed in a special exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. Last yea, viewers of the exhibition numbered 22,565. It is anticipated an equal or greater number will see this year’s show.
