Spring 2025 Photo Contest Reminder
Hard to believe we are talking about spring but it’s uplifting and looking forward to it.
Our spring photo contest will take place at our March 11, 2025 meeting. The categories are My Favourite Nature photo (colour), and My Favourite Nature photo (black & white). This contest is judged by members attending the meeting.
The contest rules are:
 Photo size is 4’ x 6”.
 Photo is to be taken by competitor.
 Photo can be taken any time, not just the current year.
 Photo may not have been previously entered into a SHS photo contest.
 One entry in each category per membership.
 Two entries per category in a family membership but the photo entries must be taken by each family member.
 Print your name on the back of your photos.
A table will be set up for the contest. Join in the fun – you’ve got nothing to lose!
