The Hilton Apple Fest Photo Contest is returning for the first time since COVID. This year’s theme is “Here Comes the Sun.” Send your best images that show any aspect of the sun.
Although the Eclipse was not what we had hoped, organizers would still love to see any photos from that day. The sun also has a lot to do with the Northern Lights (which have been awesome this summer) so one might consider entering images of those as well. Sunsets, sunrises, rainbows – the subject is wide open; be creative and submit those great shots.
Enter in one of three categories: Adult, Teen or Kids. There is a limit of three entries apiece. Adult entries must be either 7”x10” or 8”x10”, either vertical (portrait) or horizontal (landscape) and mounted on a stiff board. Kids’ entries must be 4”x6” and unmounted. The entry fee is $5 per image for adults, $3 per image for teens, and free for kids. Prizes for adults are $100 for first place, $50 for second, and $25 for third. Teen prizes are $80, $40, and $20. Kids’ prizes are $40, $20, and $10.
Get the full entry blank at http://hiltonapplefest.org or pick one up at the Parma Public Library or Hilton Family Pharmacy. Drop off entries at either location or mail to Hilton Apple Fest, P.O. Box 1, Hilton, NY 14468. The deadline to enter is Friday, September 27, 2024.
Even though the library is closed for renovations, they are still able to accept submissions. Call the library at 392-8350 and a staffer will meet you curbside to receive entries.
Submitted photos will be enjoyed by thousands of visitors at this year’s Apple Fest, so enter your best work. See you under the sun.
