You could have your favorite photos of Madison County published in the 2010 travel guide or used on the website promoting all things Madison County. Madison County Tourism announced details of its 2009 photo contest today and encouraged photographers of all ages and abilities to enter.
The contest is being sponsored by the Brae Loch Inn in Cazenovia and Airborne Adventures of Munnsville. It is the first time that Madison County Tourism has run a photo contest. “We are looking for photos from all corners of the county,” said Madison County Tourism executive director Jim Walter. “This is one of the most beautiful places in the northeast, and we have wonderful photographers who live here. We’d like the opportunity for them to help us tell the story of this area to visitors.”
The contest runs from March 1-September 30th and will award prizes in four categories. The categories are ages 5-12, 13-19 and adults, plus a category for the best digitally enhanced photo. Prizes available to win include:
