Bousquet Holstein PLLC is pleased to welcome you to this year’s Photography Contest Finalist Reception. On behalf of the members and employees of our law firm, we thank each student for their entries and for sharing their vision, creativity, and photography skills. Our judges had a difficult time selecting finalists from the many entries we received and in this brochure we are pleased to present the 21 finalists they selected. 

This year's theme was inspired by Seen & Heard: An Active Commemoration of Women’s Suffrage, an exhibition at the Everson Museum of Art that explored the language and tactics of protest and the ability of the arts to initiate civic engagement. 

Students were challenged to capture images that engage in a conversation around equal rights, civic engagement, and social change. Students were asked to look at photography as a tool to document and engender activism‐What is your cause and how can your camera make a difference in the world?

Bousquet Holstein PLLC is committed to our clients and to the communities in which we live and work. Our attorneys volunteer their time and lend their talents in board and leadership positions to civic, charitable, arts and education organizations supporting not‐for‐profit initiatives throughout the Central Upstate New York region.

Each year our firm features the winning image on our Thanksgiving card with a short biography about the student photographer.
