As a way to celebrate the diversity of agriculture in Chatham, the county is sponsoring an agricultural photography contest through June 30, 2016.
Winners of the contest will have their photos displayed on the new Chatham County Agriculture and Conference Center, which will open in Pittsboro later this year.
“We invite all professional and amateur photographers with high quality images of agricultural activities and scenes to please submit their entries,” said county manager Renee Paschal. “Selected photographers will be honored at our grand opening exhibition event. We are very excited to see the submissions.”
The contest will include single images that stand alone or triple photo murals that can be displayed as a three-photo display.
The images can be in color, black and white or sepia tones, preferably in JPG or PNG format and must be 150 dots per inch for large reproduction. The photos should not be heavily processed with artistic filters .
Each photographer can submit an unlimited number of photos. All photos must have Chatham County subjects, but the photographer does not have to live in the county.
Photos may include people, but children under the age of 18 must have a parental waiver form.
To obtain a submission form and instructions on how to upload photos for the contest, please contact Larilee Isley at 919-545-8393.
