Below are the winning entries from our August 2017 Chapter Photo Contest from a field of nine entries. Our next and last contest of the year will run from November 1-31, 2017 with a Submission Deadline of December 7, 2017
The monthly photo contest has changed!
From now on each contest will run for a full month! Starting from the 1st and going to the last day. This should give everyone the opportunity to get trackside and shoot something. Deadline for submitting your photos will be the 7th day of the following month. There will still be a limit of two entries per member however.
Submit no more than two entries each to webmaster@westkentuckynrhs.org by the 7th following the month of the contest. You must be a paid member of the chapter to participate in these contests.
I will judge the photos and select 1st through 3rd place and the winners will be presented in the PennyRail and on the chapter website. We’ll also view them at the meeting following each contest.
At least the 1st place winners will be used to produce a chapter calendar for the next year.
All submissions must have a caption that lists at least the railroad, location and date with photographer’s credit and any other relevant information.
Thanks to Bill Farrell for suggesting the change!
If you want to mark your calendars for next year this is the schedule for the contest!
