National Rural Health Day is November 17
With all the scenic vistas of the Cowboy State, maybe you fancy yourself a pretty good amateur photographer.
Well, the Wyoming Department of Health Office of Rural Health does too, and they would like to get a look at your favorite photos of life in Wyoming.
They are inviting the shutter-happy residents of the state to enter their pictures in this year’s National Rural Health Day Photo Contest.
Prizes will be awarded in two photograph categories: “People, Places and Things” and “Landscape and Wildlife.” First place winners in each category will receive $100, with $50 for second place winners.
Photos will be judged by Office of Rural and Frontier Health staff on creativity, originality, photo quality, how well images communicate the concept of rural health and overall appeal.
Winning photos may be used on the Wyoming Department of Health website and in future department publications and correspondence
Images must be royalty-free, entrants must be Wyoming residents, images must be current (no historical photos).
