Calling all aspiring student photographers. The time to showcase your talent has arrived.

The Charlotte Observer is accepting entries for its “Captured Memories” high school student photo contest. Open to juniors and seniors at Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, we are partnering with the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library to present this exciting contest that is in its second year.

Last year’s finalists included students from Myers Park High School, East Mecklenburg High School and South Mecklenburg High School among others. We invite students from every CMS high school, if possible, to enter.
