Charlestown State Park sponsors amateur photo contest
Got some great photographs taken in Charlestown State Park? Submit them in the park's Third Annual Amateur Photo Contest, and you could win free entry to Indiana's state parks for a year.
The contest is open to amateur photographers only. Entries will be accepted through July 23. Winning photos will be display on July 25 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Viewers will also have a chance to vote for their favorite photos during that time.
If there are enough entries, three winners will get 2010 Annual IDNR passes. These passes cover the gate fees for all Indiana State Parks that have such fees and are good throughout all of 2010.
Decisions of the judges are final. All photos will become property of Charlestown State Park. Charlestown State Park accepts no responsibility for damaged or lost photos.
To enter, drop off up to three photos, accompanied by the entry/release form. The photo(s) should be 8-by-10 photographs matted to poster board. (Each photo must have an entry form attached to the back of the photo.)
Photos can be in any or all of the following categories: park history, nature and wildlife, and programs and family fun. The photos should be dropped off at the gate to Charlestown State Park or at the park's office during regular park hours. The office is open daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The front gate is opens no later than 7:30 a.m. (sometimes earlier) and closes at 10:30 p.m.
