The contest will run from April 18 until June 15. Claudia Hughes, chairperson of the committee, explained, "There is almost a constant stream of requests for in teresting pictures of Morrow County. Yet residents of the county know the real pictures que areas of the county a lot better than a professional photographer ever could. By sponsoring this contest we hope to catch the beauty and enjoyment that is here, and be able to use a local photographer in our tourist pam phlets." There will be three categories in the contest, but there will not be age distinctions within the categories: tourist facilities or sites; community events or premises; and scenic land scapes (all seasons). A first, second and third prize will be awarded of $25, $20, and $15 for each category. Use of any photo for publicity purposes would be credited to the photographer. Entries must be no smaller than 3 x 5 inches, and no larger than 8 x 10 in ches. All entries are to have the category entered, the entrant's name, address, phone number, and where the picture was taken on the back of the photo. Winners must be willing to per mit reproduction of their pic ture and furnish a negative if requested. "We are sorry, but we w on't be able to return photographs, as the number of entrants we hope to receive would make it an impossibly large task ," said Hughes.

They also may be submitted to members of the Tourism Committee. Questions regarding the con test may be directed to Hughes, 676-5536, or to Joe Hopkins, 481-2356.
