Calling all photographers! The 2014 Nevada Farm Bureau Photo Contest is underway. The Nevada Farm Bureau Women’s Leadership Committee sponsors the annual photo contest.

For the first time, photographers will submit photos based on seasons. The best photographs from each season will be selected and judged in October for cash prizes.

Deadlines to submit photographs from each season are as follows:

Winter pictures: March 19

Spring pictures: June 2

Summer pictures: Aug. 22

Fall pictures: Oct. 1

The photo contest is open to all Nevada Farm Bureau members and their families. The photo contest includes two divisions: Youth and Adult (18+). Prizes for each division is $100, $75 and $50 for first, second and third place photographs.

Photographs need to represent Nevada agriculture, rural life or Nevada scenery. Photographers may submit as many photos as desired, however only one cash prize will be awarded per photographer.

Winning photographs will be featured during the 2014 Nevada Farm Bureau Convention, on the Nevada Farm Bureau website and in the monthly “Agriculture & Livestock Journal.” Exceptional high-resolution photographs may also be featured in the “Rural Tour,” Nevada Farm Bureau’s annual calendar.
