Back by popular demand, the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) Fields-of-Corn.com photo contest is officially open! This is the eighth year of the contest and two new categories have been added.
“This year I am excited to offer photographers the opportunity to submit photos in some of our most popular categories like the farm family lifestyle and growing field corn, but also new categories of equipment and bird’s eye view,” said NCGA Graphic Communications Manager Beth Musgrove. “Every year it’s great to see how the submissions tell the story of agriculture and rural America. That’s why we evaluate the categories and try to offer photographers something new to snap a picture of.”
A total of 26 cash prizes will be awarded with the single, most popular photo with Facebook “likes” receiving a $500 prize and First ($300), Second ($200), Third ($100), prizes will be awarded for each of eight categories and, as in prior years, judges will select a single Grand Prize winner to be awarded $500.
You can visit Fields-of-Corn today to enter your best farm photos, and vote for your favorite photos. The minimum width in pixels required is 3000 for photo submissions.
Fields-of-Corn.com launched in 2014 to help tell the story of farming field corn in America. Since its start, NCGA has collected more than 2,000 photos across ten categories and awarded more than one hundred cash prizes.
Open to all, entries will be accepted through November 30 and will be available to accumulate Facebook “likes” through December 31. Winners will be announced in January 2022.
