Nature photo club to host contest
Review your collection to select a photo for a chance to win this year’s photo contest.
The Wilderness Center Nature Photo Club will hold its 30th annual Foto Fest event on Saturday, June 1 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, June 2 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at The Wilderness Center in Wilmot.
Review your photo collection to select a photo for a chance to win this year’s photo contest. Those who do not enter the contest are invited to attend the free Foto Fest event at The Wilderness Center to view the photos on display and cast a vote for their favorite in each category.
Winning photos will be determined based on the ballots cast by the general public attending the event, as well as a Judge’s Choice award selected by a professional photographer. Certificates and prizes will be awarded in each of the eight categories in both novice and advanced divisions. There also is a division for age 18 and under. The cost is $7 per photo entry and $5 per entry in the youth division.
An entry form with all of the details is available online at The Wilderness Center Nature Photo Club website at www.twcnpc.com. Select the Foto Fest Info tab. The form also contains drop-off information.
This year Foto Fest is teaming up with the Nature Fest Artist’s Market. Attendees are invited to attend both events.
