The 23rd annual, juried, Phillips Mill Photographic Exhibition has honored two local women by selecting their photographs to be on display through the next few weeks.
Susan Kott, of Croydon, who was one of the eight recognized award winners, and Sharlene Holliday, of Langhorne, who had her first two photographs selected for the contest this year, will have their photos along with 125 other chosen photographs on display through June 21 in New Hope.

Holliday, who said she has been coming to see other photographer’s work at the exhibition every year, said she finally got the courage to enter this year. Her courage paid off when both of her photos, ‘Loss for Words,’ and ‘Material Culture,’ were accepted into the prestigious show. Over 460 photographs were entered into the contest this year, according to organizers.
Awards for Best in Show, Best Body of Work, Patron’s Awards, Judges Award, and the Spencer Saunders Award were distributed. Kott’s photograph, ‘Missing Parts,’ joined entrants from Clinton, Elkins Park and Yardely as winners of the Patron’s Award.
The Phillips Mill Photographic Exhibition will be open Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.; Fridays and Saturdays from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The mill, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is located at 2619 River Road in New Hope. Admission is $5 for adults; $3 for senior citizens and students; and free for Phillips Mill Community Association members. All work at the exhibit is also available for purchase.
