The American Farm Bureau Federation in conjunction with the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture are holding the 2012 Farm Bureau Photo Contest. 

 

The competition is open to all state and county Farm Bureau members and employees above 18 years of age at the time of entry, including professional photographers. 

 

Submitted photos will be used to accurately portray today’s agriculture and safe practices of farmers and ranchers, and also for future use in AFBF, and related companies, publications and promotions. The competition guidelines state all photo submissions must exemplify safe practices on the farm or ranch. 

 

The competition is broken down into five categories: Safety and Health; My Scenic Farm/Ranch; At Work on the Farm or Ranch; At Home on the Farm or Ranch; and Consumer Outreach. The contest will run from Sept. 1 through Nov. 30, 2012, with monetary prizes being awarded to the top three placing photos in each category. First place winners will be awarded $200, second place $150 and third place $100. Competition winners will be announced at the AFBF Annual Meeting in January 2013 in Nashville, Tenn.
