The city’s Public Information Department will kick-off the Spring/Summer Photo Contest on Monday, April 24, 2017. The social media contest will feature Douglas – Coffee County photographs taken by local photographers. “We wanted to offer our locals who take fantastic social media photos a chance to showcase their talent,” says Georgia Henderson, Public Information Director. “Social media is a great place to share photos that feature our town.”

All photo contest entries are subject to rules listed below and posted at www.cityofdouglas.com. All photos will be judged based on a combined total of visitor votes at the Douglas Visitor Information Center and photo likes from the Visit Douglas social media sites.

  • Photos must be taken within Douglas – Coffee County.
  • All entries must include a completed and signed entry form, one 8x10 photo print and one electronic JPEG of the photo on a compact disc (CD) or jump drive. (The 8x10 photo prints will be used in the judging phase, and the winning photos will be part of a six-month traveling photo display throughout the city. Electronic photos are displayed on the city’s website.) The 8x10 hard copy and the electronic copy of the photo must be included with application.
  • Photos must be original and must not violate any agreements with a third party. Photos containing recognizable people must be accompanied by a signed release form (copies available on city website). Specific Douglas-Coffee County location or address required.
  • Contestants grant the City of Douglas and all potential sponsors, the nonexclusive right to own, publish, use, distribute, reproduce and publicly display entered photographs, and to create derivative works from all photographs, in perpetuity, in any of its online, print or other media publications, materials or exhibitions, for purposes of promoting the Douglas community, through its publications, advertising and website, and without payment or compensation. An effort to credit photographers will be made when using photos, but is not required. Winning photos will become sole property of the City of Douglas and cannot be used without permission by the City of Douglas.
  • Photos must be appropriate. Entries with obscene, provocative or offensive content will not be considered. Photo entries may be disqualified for any violation of the contest rules listed here or on city website.
