Photographers of all ages invited to take part in photo contest for Lansing Fish Days; Deadline is Monday, August 5

The Lansing Fish Days Committee is hosting a photography contest in conjunction with the annual community celebration being held August 9-11. Photographers of all ages are encouraged to participate.

Each photographer can submit up to three photos, and it is asked that all photos be in a 5”x7” format and printed on photo paper. The photos will be displayed in plastic sleeves.

The contest will involve two categories, “Lansing’s Black Hawk Bridge” and “Out and About in Lansing”. There is no fee to enter the contest, but all submitted photographs become property of the Lansing Lions Club to be used. The images, however, remain the property of the entrant.

Prizes will be awarded in each category, including First prize of $25; Second prize of $10; and People’s Choice prize of $10. A Grand prize of $50 and a Lansing Fish Days t-shirt will be awarded overall, with both categories being judged to determine an overall winner.

Photographs can be dropped off at Studio K on Main Street in Lansing or mailed to Lansing Lions Club, P.O. Box 102, Lansing, IA 52151. Deadline for submissions is Monday, August 5.

Entries are asked to have the name and contact number of the photographer attached. Winners will be announced Saturday evening of Fish Days, August 10.
