Marion County Extension and the Marion County Development Commission are sponsoring the annual Marion County Photo Contest. Categories include scenic, wildlife, and people.

All photos must be taken in Marion County. There are two divisions for each category; Adult and Youth. Entries will be judged by a panel on their creativity, photographic quality, suitability for a calendar layout, and their effectiveness in portraying Marion County. The three top photos in each category will be selected for exhibit throughout the county in the year following the contest. Photos will also be used in a 2017 Marion County Calendar. A Best of Show prize will also be awarded. The entry deadline is Wednesday, June 13, at noon.
