2010 Laramie Area Visitor Center Photo Contest
General Rules and Regulations
The contest will run from January 1, through April 9, 2010. Entries will be judged by a local panel, and finalists in each category will be displayed at downtown businesses where citizens of Albany County will be encouraged to vote for their favorite photo. The photos will be in downtown businesses from April 26, through May 7, 2010. The voting results will then be used as part of the formula to select the winning entries. The winning photos will be announced in the Laramie Boomerang during the week of May 11, 2010. All winners, first through third, will receive a gift and the possibility of being in the 2011 Laramie Area Calendar.
Acceptable entries must be original photographs taken in Albany County in the last two years (from 2008 to 2010). Entries will be judged in the following six categories that represent the spirit and people of Albany County: Landscape; Sunrise & Sunset; Wildlife; Winter Activities; Summer Activities; Building/Street Scapes; and Cowboy Culture. Lake Marie and Medicine Bow Peak are in Carbon County, but very spectacular from the Albany side, so photographs taken of Lake Marie and Medicine Bow Peak from the Albany County side will be accepted.
