Submission deadline extended to Wednesday, April 4, 2012 for our Third Annual Nature Festival on April 14, 2012!
Got any great nature photos? Were they taken somewhere in Texas? Do you want to share them with others and have a chance to be recognized among your family, friends and possibly thousands of Festival visitors? Are you between the ages of zero and infinity? If so, you are eligible to submit your favorites in our Nature Festival Photo Contest!
There will be three divisions based on your age as of March 30, 2012: 18 and over, 12 through 17, and under 12. There are also five different categories for you to enter one photo in each one, for your age division. There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners for each category in each age division, and one Best of Show for each age division across all categories.
1. People in Nature – a person or persons interacting in a natural setting or with nature in some way.
2. Wildlife – wild animal life where mammals, insects, aquatic life, birds or reptiles are the focus of the photo.
3. Landscape/Scenery – where natural landscapes, wildscapes, seascapes, skyscapes or underwater scenes are the focus of the photo.
4. Plants/Flora – any photo that focuses on plants or flower/plant structure, and not on a scene or landscape.
5. Funny Nature Photo – depict any nature oriented object or scene (people, plants, animals, etc.) that has a humorous aspect.
The submission deadline is Wednesday April 4, 2012. Judging will be completed prior to the Festival on April 14, 2012, and all winners will be announced and awarded ribbons in a brief ceremony at 2:15pm April 14 at the Festival. All submissions will be on display as well.
