Utica’s theatre department is holding a competition for the photography classes. Their assignment: take a photo with a witch/wizard theme to be submitted to the Puffs Photo Challenge.

“There are really no rules,” junior Davan Palmer said.  “Just have a picture with something either Halloween or Hogwarts themed.”

Palmer is the head of publicity for the play, and the person who is in charge of this competition.

“We decided to add this challenge to the play to get more people involved and interested in the play,” Palmer said.

The winning photographer will receive a prize for their work.

“The winner of the contest wins two tickets to see a Friday showing of the play,” Palmer said.

The top photos will be put on display outside the auditorium during the play’s show nights.
