Get the picture: Entries sought for ag photo contest

Entries will be accepted through Dec. 31 for an annual competition for photography depicting the Colorado agricultural industry.

“I love to see Colorado’s diverse agricultural landscapes captured in pictures. Every year photographers showcase Colorado agriculture in creative ways,” said Wendy White, marketing specialist for the Colorado Department of Agriculture.

Entries to the “Colorado…it’s AgriCultural” photography contest must be submitted to the Colorado Department of Agriculture by e-mail with an official entry. Visit www.colorado.gov/agmarkets/aginsights for contest rules and entry forms.

Photographs must be taken in the 2019 calendar year and relate to Colorado agriculture in some way. Prizes will be awarded in six subject areas: crops, livestock, people, open professional, urban agriculture and ag from above. Professional photographers may only enter in the open professional category.

Entries will be evaluated on theme, creativity and technical quality. The overall winner will receive $150. Category winners will receive “Colorado…it’s AgriCultural” prize packs.
