Time to prepare for Spokane Ag Expo 2013 photo contest

Shutterbugs of all ages…it's not too early to get those cameras out and take those photos to enter in the 2013 Spokane Ag Expo photography contest! Spokane Ag Expo, celebrating its 36th year, will again feature the popular photography contest celebrating agriculture at their 2013 show. Photographers are asked to submit entries depicting “Agriculture in the Inland Northwest” by November 30, 2012. Photographs will be displayed at Spokane Ag Expo 2013, which is held in the Spokane Convention Center Complex in the exhibit halls. Dates of the show are February 5 - 7, 2013.

“The photography contest continues to be a popular event at the show during Ag Week and continues to grow,” said show manager Myrna O'Leary. “The impressive photo gallery area has become a favorite stopping place for everyone attending the show.” The winning entries will receive cash prizes and ribbons for first, second and third place in both the adult and youth (under 18 years of age) divisions. Ribbons will also be awarded for honorable mention and manager’s choice. Everyone who enters will also receive two free tickets to Spokane Ag Expo that are good for all three days of the show.

Contestants are asked to submit either color or black and white prints (minimum size of 8 x 10 inches and maximum size of 11 x 14 inches). Photos need to be mounted on cardboard or matting (not framed). Photos also must be submitted in "high quality" on a disc clearly marked with the photographer's name and contact information. No more than four photos can be entered by a contestant. Winners in each category will be judged by area photographers, based on theme, composition and creativity. Contest rules and entry forms can be found at http://www.agshow.org.

Spokane Ag Expo is the largest farm machinery show in the Inland Northwest. The trade show is all under one roof in the Spokane Convention Center Complex in the exhibit hall with over 250 exhibitors utilizing over 100,000 square feet of show space. The show provides the best possible marketing showcase of agricultural equipment and related products to the large and small producer, rancher, farmer and small acreage landowner.
