This year’s photography contest is going to be even better than last year’s. Tell your neighbors and friends (especially if they are shutterbugs) that there’s a local photography contest with cash prizes.

I listened to your thoughtful feedback. So:
- All photos will be given their own page where they are displayed at full size
- I’ll be more stringent about enforcing rules
- There will be more prizes (including a $25 cash prize for first place)
Send in three photographs by e-mail attachment to andrew suber [at] hotmail [dot] com. That’s andrewsuber@hotmail.com.
The first photograph should be of a Big Bend plant. The second of Big Bend wildlife. The third, a Big Bend landscape. If you are a professional photographer, please don’t send in a submission; this is for ‘up-and-comers’. Anyone else can enter as long as the photos were taken in the Big Bend area (use your common sense and a map to define that area). The deadline is midnight, May 2nd. The readers will be the judges.
If you are a local business who is looking for a cheap way to reach a large audience, donate some non-cash prizes to the contest. I’ll make sure that folks know about your generosity.

hi andrew! i just read about the big bend photo contest. i took some photos last september when i was there. are those too old to submit? also, does it matter that i live all the way over here in england (even if i’m from austin/odessa)?
Those photos are fine. People from all over the world are welcome to participate as long as the photos are of the Big Bend area.

Hi Andrew!
I sent you 3 photos for the photo contest on April 20th, but you didn’t add me to the contest?
I submitted them right away and send them to the address you specified??? What did I do wrong?
I have sent you them again.

My mistake, Tanya.
I’m thinking of having a photograph contest every month because of the great response from my readers.
I’ll get you a consolation prize and have your submission posted first in the next comment.
Thank you for your patience, Tanya.

I’ll post the results soon, Melanie.
Is it soon yet?
I’ll tabulate and post the results tomorrow, Voni.
Thanks!
