The annual Marion County Photo Contest will be wrapping up this week.

Marion County Extension and the Marion County Development Commission are once again sponsoring the event.
Marion County Extension Ag/Horticulture Assistant Karen Ackley says the contest is open to all amateur photographers and will be judged in three categories: scenic (e.g., landscape and water scenes, historical and outdoor structures, skylines, and gardens), wildlife (e.g., animals, plants, and/or insects), and people (residents having fun, action shots—people doing things; no portraits).
There’s a limit of 10 photos per person and all photographs must be taken within Marion County. The deadline for submitting photos is Monday, June 22nd.
To enter, send or deliver a single CD to Marion County Extension, 210 N. Iowa St., Knoxville, IA, 50138, or email entries (one photo per email) to kackley@iastate.edu.
Entry forms must be attached to the CD or accompany each email. Forms (and additional information) are available at the Marion Extension Office or online here.
