The Georgia Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers Committee would like to provide an opportunity for GFB’s members to showcase agriculture and to encourage appreciation of rural Georgia. This competition offers amateur photographers the chance to explore the many activities, seasons, triumphs, disappointments and faces of agriculture, our state’s key industry. The photos that win this competition will capture the image and spirit of agriculture and Farm Bureau in Georgia.
The contest is open to any amateur photographer (one who receives no income from photography) who is a member of Georgia Farm Bureau.
All photos must highlight Georgia agriculture and have been taken in 2019 and 2020. Each entrant may enter three photos, and only those of highest quality will be considered. All digital photos must be sent as an attachment in a jpeg format by email to yf@gfb.org. In the subject line of the email type “Photo Contest.” You must complete an entry form. Photos submitted without an entry form will not be accepted. Photos entered in the GFB photo contest may not have been entered in any other contest.
Photos will be judged on the use of angle, lighting, balance, color, contrast, viewpoint and technical ability. Photos altered in any way will not be judged. All photos become the property of GFB and may be used for any purpose, such as publishing in Farm Bureau Neighbors and/or Farm Bureau News, posting it on GFB’s Web site, reproducing it for Farm Bureau use or selling it. Georgia Farm Bureau has the final decision on any and all questions or concerns regarding rules, judging, eligibility, prizes awarded or anything else that may arise pertaining to the Photo Contest.
