March 19, 2018 | I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute
I-Connect007 invited three local college students to participate in their photographic coverage of IPC APEX EXPO 2018. These photographers from The Art Institute of California–San Diego and San Diego City College roamed the show floor and captured a variety of photos that were submitted to the I-Connect007 Student Photo Contest.
After the event, the I-Connect007 team reviewed the students’ photos and selected the top submissions. The winner (and each participant) received prize money based on their best photo. It is our pleasure to announce the photo contest results and showcase their work in our various publications.
Congratulations to Stephen Howell from San Diego City College for his winning photograph! Stephen Howell is a part-time photographer and photojournalism student at San Diego City College. When he is not working behind the camera for clients, he enjoys offering his time and photographic expertise to events in and around the San Diego area.
I-Connect007 would also like to acknowledge the runners-up, Matthew Crabtree and Amelia Christie, and thank all three students for photographing the trade show and participating in I-Connect007’s media coverage of IPC APEX EXPO 2018.
“It was exciting to invite local student photographers to IPC APEX EXPO 2018 and introduce them to our industry. This partnership allowed I-Connect007 to showcase young, local talent and to supplement their education through experiential learning,” says Barry Matties, I-Connect007 publisher.
