Last Day to Submit Entries for the Accidentally Wes Anderson Photo Contest
Last Day to Submit Entries for the Accidentally Wes Anderson Photo Contest
November 1, 2024
Film director Wes Anderson has a distinctive style that many attempt to mimic. A recent book, Accidentally Wes Anderson, shares views of the best efforts by professional photographers. If all those pros are having such a good time making Wes Anderson fakes, we thought it might be fun for our patrons to do so as well.
Take a look at the style hints found in the adult section display case and take some photos that you think are "Accidently Wes Anderson." Send it to programs@madisonlib.org or leave it at the Circulation Desk by November 1, and we'll display them during the month of November. Please include your name, library card number, and phone number.
The three photos judged to be closest to Anderson's style will receive a copy of the book.
