Give Us Your Best Shot!

The ASE Foundation will be accepting photograph submissions to this year’s Images from the Heart photo exhibit February 19 – April 19.

The images do not need to be medical in nature and do not need to have been taken while participating in a medical event. Photos may be of people, landscapes, cultural observations, architectural structures, etc. Think of the phrases, “I left my heart in…” or “This has my heart” when considering what photo(s) to submit.

Give us your best shot!

Full submission details available here.
