PRAS PHOTO CONTEST
Photographers: It’s time to get ready for our annual PRAS Photo Contest. The contest is featured at our December Potluck meeting and is a fund-raiser for the Youth Environmental Education Fund. This year we will again hold two contests. Contest A is open to everyone, but photographers who have been winners in previous contests in the past 3 years, including 1st place winners in Contest B, MUST compete here. Contest B is open to all others, and first-time contestants are encouraged to begin here. Both contests have had amazing entries in recent years. Join us! Show off your incredible work! The contest is open to everyone, not just PRAS members.
This year’s photo contest will be held on Thursday December 20, 2018. Bring your photos early — between 5 p.m. and 5:15 p.m. — so that we will be ready when the doors officially open at 5:30 p.m. for the potluck dinner. Attendees at this potluck dinner will vote on their favorite photos..
The winning photos will be announced at the February PRAS meeting, displayed at the March banquet and on our website.
