The Photo Contest theme this year is "What I Love about Lake Lure and the Hickory Nut Gorge." Twelve photos will be selected to appear in the 2011 Friends of the Mountains Branch Library calendar. A thirteenth 'Best of Show' winner may also be selected for the front cover of the calendar. Winners will receive a free copy of the calendar. We are taking entries now and the deadline is August 31st. Photographs must be taken in landscape orientation, with the minimum photo size and resolution of 1280 X 960 pixels at 300 dpi, submitted on a CD in jpeg format. Due to the overwhelming number of entries last year, entries are limited to three per contestant. The Calendar committee would like to select seasonal photos appropriate to the months that they will represent. |
