Harvest
Offers Great Photo Opportunities for NCGA Photo Contest (9-2-05)
As harvest gets
under way—a time when opportunities for eye-catching farm photos
are great—the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) reminds
growers the deadline for entries to its “Gallery of Corn”
photo contest is Nov. 30.
“The upcoming
weeks provide some great opportunities for growers to capture life
on the farm,” said Mimi Ricketts, NCGA communications director.
“There’s a lot of activity, and plenty of opportunities
to catch your family members in action or that perfect sunset as it
heads down over the fields.”
NCGA grower members,
families and affiliated state organization members and employees can
showcase their talents and family life in agriculture through photos
entered in these categories: Planting, Growing, Harvesting, Livestock,
Families on the Farm, Scenic and Miscellaneous.
A grand prize
of $500 will be awarded, as well as cash prizes in each of seven categories.
Winning entries will be featured at the 2006 Commodity Classic in
Anaheim, Calif. in March, in addition to being highlighted on NCGA’s
main Web site.
The deadline
for photo entries is only a few months away - Nov. 30 - and winners
will be announced in December. Contest rules, information and entry
forms are available at www.ncga.com.
