Third Annual Photo Contest Announced

The beauty (and even humor) of rural life comes into focus with Clinton County Farm Bureau’s third photo contest.  It’s a chance for you, as a member, to capture your favorite images showcasing the rich diversity of our county’s agricultural landscape and its people.  It’s a great way to show off your favorite photos, and maybe even win a prize.

The contest is for amateurs only and is open to Clinton County Farm Bureau members and their families, ages 6 and up.  Make sure your photos were taken in Clinton County sometime from 2023 through the contest deadline in 2024 (August 1^st).

There are two categories to inspire you:

• Everyday Life– From planting and harvesting to chores and tractor rides, we want to see what takes place on your farm on a day-to-day basis. Whether you’re a row crop farmer, an agriculturalist or a livestock producer, your daily routine matters to agriculture. Show us farming in action on your operation!
• Kid’s Corner– FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS 12 AND UNDER. Children across the state are taking incredible photos of what agriculture means to them. That’s why we created a youth category – to showcase the talent of our youth! Parents, please do not submit photos you took of your children in this category.

If that’s not enough, maybe some cash incentives will help get you going!  The 1^st place winner in each category will receive $50 cash; 2^nd place in each category gets $25; and “Peoples’ Choice” wins $75 (chosen through a social media/online campaign).

Winning photos will be published in our Membership Newsletter, posted on our Facebook page and website, and displayed at our Annual Meeting in January 2025.  You may even find your submitted photo(s) utilized as local imagery on our organization’s website or other marketing pieces.

Official contest rules and the online entry form will be available on our website soon at https://clintoncofb.org/.  In the meantime, start capturing your favorite photos this spring and contact our office at (618) 526-7235 or [email protected] with any contest questions.

Entries must be submitted by August 1^st, so what are you waiting for? Start snapping those photos today!
