Marion County Extension and the Marion County Development Commission are once again sponsoring the annual Marion County Photo Contest.
Marion County Extension Ag/Horticulture Assistant Karen Ackley says the contest is open to all amateur photographers and will be judged in three categories: scenic (e.g., landscape and water scenes, historical and outdoor structures, skylines, and gardens), wildlife (e.g., animals, plants, and/or insects), and people (residents having fun, action shots—people doing things; no portraits).
There’s a limit of 10 photos per person and all photographs must be taken within Marion County. The deadline for submitting photos is Monday, June 22nd.
To enter, send or deliver a single CD to Marion County Extension, 210 N. Iowa St., Knoxville, IA, 50138, or email entries (one photo per email) to kackley@iastate.edu.
Entry forms must be attached to the CD or accompany each email. Forms (and additional information) are available at the Marion Extension Office or online here.
