With only weeks remaining, the National Corn Growers Association reminds photographers, both amateur and professional, they are invited to help share our story of farming field corn in America through the fifth annual Fields-of-Corn Photo Contest. Through this contest, NCGA captures high-resolution photos of corn growth from seed to harvest and the families that grow it. Interested participants will be able to submit multiple entries until Nov. 30.
Open to all, the Fields-of-Corn photo contest offers a free opportunity for photographers to share their work while competing for 25 cash prizes.
Prizes include cash awards for the top three entries in eight categories:
1. Corn;
2. Growing field corn;
3. Farm family lifestyle;
4. Scenery/landscape;
5. Farming challenges;
6. SHP conservation;
7. True grit; and
8. Most popular as determined by Facebook “likes.”
The new true grit category was borne out of the farm family lifestyle category. This new category focuses on the people getting work done with their bare hands. Photos submitted to the little farmers category in previous years will still be accepted in the farm family lifestyle category.
