Glen Cove High School Students Won Regional PSA Youth Showcase Awards

GLEN COVE, NEW YORK (APRIL 2023) — Glen Cove High School is proud to announce that two of its photography students have won awards at the Regional level of the 2023 Photographic Society of America's Youth Photography Showcase. Colette Brunelle, a senior, took Second Place in the Landscape category with her photo of hot air balloons floating above picturesque Cappadocia, Turkey. Freshman Mason Foster won Third Place in the Architecture category with his photo of The Unisphere, a famous landmark located in Flushing Meadows Park.

The PSA Youth Showcase is a photographic competition hosted by PSA and open to all high school students worldwide. The Showcase is an excellent opportunity for eligible students to share their work and receive recognition for their efforts.

The work of all entrants will now be sent to the National level of the competition which takes place later in the year. High School photography teacher Melissa Johnides is excited to see if her students continue their winning streak at the National competition, after five of them won awards in the 2022 competition.

"We are incredibly proud of Colette and Mason for their accomplishments at the Regional level of the 2023 Photographic Society of America's Youth Photography Showcase," said Johnides. "Their talent and hard work have paid off, and we can't wait to see what they will achieve in the future."

The success of Colette and Mason in this prestigious photography competition is a testament to the school's dedication to excellence in the arts.
