PEC’s photo contest

Submit your photographs to PEC's 2016 Photo Contest while there's still time! Send them images of stunning natural landscapes, bustling streetscapes, life on the farm or wildlife in its habitat. There's also a Youth Category for ages 17 and under. The winners of each category will receive a $75 gift certificate to a nearby Buy Fresh Buy Local restaurant. The Youth Category winner will receive a $75 iTunes gift card. Each finalist will receive a free PEC membership and have her or his work featured in upcoming PEC print and online publications.

Categories include: Beautiful Landscapes or Streetscapes, Native Plants and Wildlife, Local Farms and Food, and the Youth Category. Photos must be taken within PEC’s nine-county region — Albemarle, Clarke, Culpeper, Fauquier, Greene, Loudoun, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock counties.

The deadline for submission is next Friday (Sept. 30). Visit pecva.org/ photocontest for contest details. If you have questions, contact Paula Combs, PEC's senior editor, at pcombs@pecva.org or 540-347-2334, ext. 7021.
