River Park North Photography Contest Accepts Submissions

RPN signage River Park North Photography Contest Accepts Submissions pictures

The seventh annual photography contest at River Park North will accept photos taken at the park from June 1, 2011 through May 31, 2012.

The annual contest is open to amateur photographers who highlight the beauty of River Park North in their submissions. It is part of an effort by the park to get the public interested in nature and outdoor activities.

After receiving approximately 30 entries last year, a photography professional from ASAP Photo and Camera was asked to judge the photos and pick the winners. The entries were separated into either the adult or children’s category and from each category a first and second place winner and an honorable mention were selected.

Contest coordinator Brad Williams was very pleased with the submissions this year.

“We had a lot of good children’s entries this year and we also had a lot of good seasons pictures because we ran the contest from June 1 of last year to May 31 of this year,” he said.

Williams commented that submissions from children like Grimes and Briley are one of the main goals of the contest saying, “I’d like to get children more involved in the outdoors and photography here at the park.”

Briley also encouraged other children interested in photography contests saying that “even if you don’t win, still keep trying.”

Gunter has advice for new photographers looking to get started or enter the River Park North photography contest this year.

“Just go with what your eye catches and if you find something that you think is interesting other people might find it interesting as well,” he said.

Photos may by be submitted from March 1 to May 31, 2012.

For contest rules and more information, visit River Park North or call 329-4577 or 329-4560.
