The Canton Fireman’s Fair Amateur Photo Contest, no professionals, is new this year. It is free to enter and you may enter as many as you wish. There will be 3 divisions: Youth Division 12 and under with any subject in color; Teen Division ages 13-17 with three different categories - Color- Animals, Black and White-Any Subject and Color – Scene. Adults 18 and older with the three different categories: Color Theme – Animals, Black and White – Any Subject, and Color – Scene.
They are asking entries to be 8x10 photos prior to formatting, framed, contain glass and ready to hang. Youth Division 12- under can be 5x7 prior to formatting. Please NO staples or hooks. Wire hanging is more secure. They are asking the photos be recent and never entered in any other event. It is to be entered by the individual who took the photo. CFD and Canton Fireman’s Fair will not be responsible for damage to photos or frames.
Because this is the first year and they have no idea how many entries there might be, they are asking you to respond in advance but not required, with number of entries by June 28, and have the entries to the Fireman’s Field, July 5, 9 am – 12 noon. Photos are to be picked up July 12, from 9 am to 12 noon. People’s Choice and prizes for top three in each division will be given. Judging will be July 7 through July 10. Winners will be notified on Saturday with the official announcement at 7 pm, Saturday. Failure to adhere to any rules means forfeiture of any prize. For a list of rules or any questions contact Dessa Staboleski, 570-673-8459 or 570-529-1216. They look forward to seeing your photos.
