22nd Annual Photography Contest

2011 Georgia National Fair

Perry, Georgia

 Displayed on the red and yellow covered tables are the 795 entries that were judged on Saturday, September 24, 2011 as the Photography Contest  Staff prepared for the 2011 Georgia National Fair.  These images were entered in the Advanced and Open Divisions of the Photography Contest.

The 975 Beginner Entries will be judged on Saturday, October 1, 2011.    In order to participate in this contest you must reside within the State of Georgia.

I, the originator of this Blog am also a Part-Time employee of the Georgia National Fair.  I am the Contest Chairperson.  In 1999 I started working for the Fair as a Picture Handler.  I have served as the Photo Contest  Chairperson for the last two or three years.  It is always interesting to meet the photographers and to view their work when they turn them.  The show is pre-judged and all the entries are on display, along with the earned awards when the Fair opens.  This year the Fair will open on Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 4:00 P.M. right after the opening ceremonies.

Of course I would urge everyone who is interested in the Hobby of Photography to visit the Fair and to view the 1770 Photography Entries.  In addition the Fair is always a wholesome adventure for citizens from all over Georgia to attend.
