Texas 4-H Photography (State) Contest, deadline of April 15

Entries for the Texas 4-H (State) Photography Contest opened on April 1 and will close at midnight April 15.  

If you do register, I want to point out one small detail about the registration setup.  When a member registers for the contest on 4HOnline, there is a Files field in the member’s registration.  Normally, you can either download and/or upload in this section.  For this contest, it is a DOWNLOAD ONLY (worded as such) field that contains a set of instructions outlining how families will navigate Submittable, which is where they will upload their photo(s).  They can click on the “Download Template” button in 4HOnline to download the instructions document, submit their registration, and continue to Submittable from there.  

To be clear, no photos are to be uploaded in 4HOnline.

Texas 4-H Photography Contest

After further discussion with our Texas 4-H Youth Development Director Dr. Williams, we have made the decision to alter the state 4-H photography contest in the following manner:

• The contest will be open to all seniors, with a limit of 1 photo per category.
• No county qualifying is required. 
• Due to the unknown number of entries we may receive, the dates when awards will be announced and distributed will be determined at the completion of judging.

Please disregard the download process I recommended in my previous email since there is no need to qualify any photos.

Youth Entry Time Period:                              April 1-15
