An exhibition of the winning photos and “The Photography of Joe Standart,” this year’s featured photographer, will open March 9 with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Beach Road museum. The event is free and open to the public.

Winners were chosen from more than 600 submitted entries from Connecticut, New York and Massachusetts, all of which will be shown on a slideshow during the opening event.

“It is one of the best organized and elegantly displayed photography shows in our area,” said Greenwich photographer Jean-Marc Bara, one of this year’s winners.

The competition is sponsored by Southport Galleries. Two grand prize winners will be selected and announced at the March 9 reception, which coincides with Fairfield County Giving Day.

This year’s contest featured online voting for a “viewer’s choice” prize, which went to Southport photographer Ellen Gould for a portrait of her husband entitled “So Done!”
