Annual photography contest celebrates Colorado agricultureColorado From horses plowing fields and cattle meandering in an aspen grove to the harvest of mountain meadow hay, Colorado agriculture is evident across the state. To showcase the diversity of Colorado agriculture, the "Colorado...it's AgriCultural," photography contest is seeking entries for this year's contest. "This annual photo contest celebrates Colorado's agriculture industry and its importance to the state economy," said Commissioner of Agriculture John Stulp. "This is the 11th year for the contest, and I encourage photographers of all ages to enter." Entries must be submitted to the Colorado Department of Agriculture with an official entry form by Dec. 31. All photographs must be taken in the 2008 calendar year and must relate to Colorado agriculture in some way. Prizes will be awarded in four subject areas: crops, livestock, people and agritourism. Judging will be based on theme, creativity and technical quality. The photographer whose picture best depicts the "spirit" of Colorado agriculture will receive a Kodak digital camera, and category winners will receive a "Colorado...it's AgriCultural" prize pack. All winning photographs will be displayed in the Beede-Hamil Agriculture Building at Northeastern Junior College in Sterling, Colo. Visit www.coloradoagriculture.com/aginsights or call 303-239-4119 for complete contest rules and an entry form. The contest is sponsored by the Colorado Department of Agriculture, the AgInsights Committee, Kodak and Northeastern Junior College. 8/18/08 Date: 8/13/08
