Like father, like son. Or is it the other way around? For the first time in memory two people from the same family have won prizes in Sun Magazine's annual photo contest -- Baltimorean Karl G. Franz, a pre-press manager for a printing firm, and his son Max, a student at Archbishop Curley High School. But that wasn't the only surprise in this year's contest. For the first time, the grand prize went to an entrant in the 16 and Under category. That would be Max, who was pretty cool about his double good fortune.

Ready, set, shoot! It is time once again for Sun Magazine's annual photo contest. This year we're trying something different: contest categories. It may seem cruel, but we're trying to cut down on the huge amount of images of cute kids, cuddly pets and vacation scenery that we receive. So, we're asking only for color or black-and-white photographs of landscapes, portraits and action scenes. Strive for artistic merit rather than sentimental value.One color and one black-and-white winner will be chosen in each of the three categories.
