Buckhannon Upshur Camera Club invites members of the general public and youth to join them in a photo exhibit during the 2025 WV Strawberry Festival in May.

Due to the club’s 20th anniversary, there are only two categories for this year’s exhibit. One of the categories gives a nod to club history, and all photos should be of things over 20 years old (people, buildings, vistas). There is a general category for all other photos.

Photos taken with a cell phone or a traditional camera are equally welcome. We look forward to seeing all of the photo entries and an exhibit that welcomes visitors to the May festival.

Look for the photography exhibit this year in the Colonial Arts Gallery on Main Street.

You can find an entry form on My Buckhannon, at the WV Strawberry Festival website or at the Facebook group Buckhannon Upshur Camera Club.

Entries are due by May 2 to Country Blooms Florist in Buckhannon. All community members are welcome to participate.
