The Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District (HCSWCD) is accepting submissions for the seventh annual Photography Contest from amateur photographers throughout Hamilton County. Photographs in both the youth and adult age categories will be accepted.
Each participant can submit up to five entries showcasing the contest theme – Natures Renewal. Digital files and entry forms must be submitted by June 29. Remember to add a descriptive caption to each entry portraying how the photo relates to this year’s theme.
“We are excited to showcase various aspects of conservation through this year’s photo contest,” said Diane Turner, Conservation Technician and Outreach Coordinator. “Our chosen theme is Natures Renewal and we hope to receive many great photo entries displaying not only renewal of natural resources, but also the renewal of Indiana wildlife, or the natural beauty of the Hamilton County countryside.”
New this year, People’s Choice Award winners in each of the categories will receive a $50 prize. A panel of judges will choose additional winners for a total of four winners to be honored. Photo entries will be showcased at the Hamilton County 4-H Fair from July 15 to 19.
