2019 RIT Photo Honors Show Purchase Prize Selections
Every year, RIT Photo produces an exhibition of the student work. The School’s faculty select the best work of the year using a web judging portal. This judging portal and required software was created as a capstone project at RIT and coordinated by RIT Photo faculty member Nanette Salvaggio.
From the images that were invited into the Exhibition, some pieces are are selected for purchase. There are quite a few purchase prizes sponsored by professors, professional staff and various organizations on campus. This post was created to share the work selected for purchase. Gosh, the students are talented 🙂 We hope you enjoy.
