County Fair Photo Entries.
This is the time of year to start thinking about entering your photography in your local County Fair...
First thing you need to do, if you have never done this before, is contact your local County Fair Admisitration and either pick up or have them send you what's called a "Premium Book".
This will give you rules, regulations, and a list of catagories for entries.
Also the dates you have to have your paperwork in and what day to bring in your entry..
Usually only cost a couple bucks per entry, the dollars for a winner aren't all that high but the feeling of walking in a seeing one of your photographs with a ribbon hanging off it is a rush.. Put a smile on your face for the whole day. Buy the kids and extra corndog.
It's also an easy way to start getting involved with other photo contests, gallery contests, getting your work and name recognized.
I've been doing it for a number of years, lots of them, and I still get a thrill going home with a blue ribbon hanging out the back pocket of my Wranglers..
From what I've seen in our weekly photo challenges here you guys could be stiff competition out there. If nothing else, you learn from your mistakes and go back the next year with determination. It is addictive in a good kind of way.
By the end of the summer I would like to see people post their winners and their ribbons... Bob
