New divisions announced for Chase County Fair’s photo contest

Four new categories for this year’s Chase County Fair and Expo Open Photo Contest will challenge photographers vying for cash prizes.

Categories include Barns, Family, Humor and A Storm Is Coming, said Samie Johnson, who chairs the annual contest at the fair. 

“For this contest, I try to have something for everyone to enter with. It should be a fun year of photos, and can’t wait to see what will be entered,” she said.

Deadline for this year’s contest is Friday, Aug. 4, by 5 p.m. 

Johnson said judges use a point system in each category for selecting winners. 

Each category will have a first, second and third place winner, along with a Best of Show, all who will receive cash prize money. A fourth place honorable mention will also be chosen.

 Cash prize amounts will be determined by how many photos are entered into this year’s contest, she said.
