General Rules and Regulations

The contest will run from February 4, through April 18, 2008. 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. These voting results will then be used as part of the formula to select the winning entries. The winning photos will be announced at a public reception and gifts will be given away. Works will also be auctioned off at the reception May 15, 2008, to help support the Wyoming House for Historic Women.

Acceptable entries must be original photographs taken in Albany County. Entries will be judged in following six categories that represent the spirit and people of Albany County: Landscape; Sunrise & Sunset; Wildlife; Winter Activities; Summer Activities; Cowboy Culture; Black & White; and Structures in Albany County. 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.
