Edith Barry, founder of the Brick Store Museum, was born in 1884. Throughout her life, she traveled the globe photographing vibrant cultures, timeless traditions, breathtaking sights, and everyday life. Her lens preserved the spirit of her era — and now, it’s your turn.

What images will define our culture 100 years from now? What moments, people, places, or traditions deserve to be remembered? Through your photography, help us document the story of today for the generations of tomorrow.

See Guidelines below to enter.

Entry is free! If you love what we do, consider making a donation along with your submission. Your support keeps the Museum’s programs alive and thriving.

Grab your camera — and go capture culture!
