2:00pm |<\/strong> Cash prizes were doled out to finalists in the annual “Say Cheese” 24-hour photography contest over the weekend, as hundreds of photos were submitted into the competition designed to bring out the best in local photographers, including the lbpost.com’s own Samuel Lippke<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Local activist Justin Rudd, whose Community Action Team (CAT) hosts the contest each year, spoke with the lbpost.com last week in an interview<\/a> with columnist Sander Wolff.<\/p>\n

“The hope is to create a yearly photo book, sort of like a high school yearbook, but, we do it in one 24-hour period, as opposed to throughout a high-school’s school year,” Rudd said. More than 1,200 photos were submitted and Rudd says he plans to organize the photos into a collection. An exhibit will be held in Belmont Shore on October 23.
