Chamber Connection

It’s time for the 5^th Annual Chamber of Commerce Photography Contest! Let me review the basics.  Anyone of any age can enter as we have a children’s category.  The picture must be newer than January 1, 2018 and must have been taken in Hopkins County. The contest will be open from August 1^st to August 31^st.  There are seven categories you may enter: Natural World, Travel, People, The Hopkins County Experience, Altered Images, Mobile, and Children’s Category. Only digital images are accepted (no prints). To submit your photograph, email the picture to Lezley@HopkinsChamber.org.  Rules and releases will be available on the Chamber of Commerce website.  I cannot wait to see your beautiful photos!
