Call for entries: Laramie Area Visitor Center Photo Contest

Sign up now for the 2011 Laramie Area Visitor Center Photo Contest at http://www.visitlaramie.org/photoContest.html

The contest will run from March 10 through April 29, 2011.  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 May 9 through May 20, 2011.  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 23, 2011.

Acceptable entries must be original photographs taken in Albany County in the last two years (from 2009 to 2011).  Entries will be judged in the following six categories that represent the spirit and people of Albany County:  Landscape; Wildlife; Winter Activities; Summer Activities; Building/Museums; and Western Heritage.  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.
