Extension Photo Contest
Calling all shutterbugs! Don't miss your chance to enter the 2008 Cooperative Extension photo contest!
With just two photographers on staff in Communication Services (and no time-travel machine), we simply can't be present to photograph all of the Extension programs and activities taking place across the state. We need you! Now is your opportunity to contribute to this effort and be recognized for your creativity and photographic talents.
This year's photo contest theme is "People Helping People Put Knowledge to Work." Top prize is $50 in each of the nine categories, and the deadline is March 1. For more details, including categories, rules and entry forms, please visit the contest Web site.
Entries received by January 31 will be eligible for our Early Bird judging with a $30 prize in each category.
