Event History
Since 2000, the Texas Tech University International Affairs has curated the premiere juried photographic exhibition of peoples and places of the world’s dry lands. The High and Dry Exhibition has attracted hundreds of artists from across the nation, all of whom were asked to respond to some aspect of life in an arid or a semi-arid region. Subjects range from sand dunes in the Sahara Desert to ghost towns in Terlingua, Texas. It is our hope that these images will not only prompt aesthetic appreciation but also elicit reflection upon the realities of life on our increasingly thirsty planet.

This is a juried photograph contest and exhibition. Approximately 55 images will be selected for exhibition, including the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. The photograph can depict any subject, but must call back to the theme of dry and semi-arid lands.
