KEEP IOWA BEAUTIFUL ANNOUNCES 3rd PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST

It’s time again to share a photo of your favorite Iowa location! Keep Iowa Beautiful is pleased to announce the 3rd Keep Iowa Beautiful Photography Contest aimed at raising awareness of Iowa’s beauty. This photo contest offers both amateur and experienced photographers an opportunity to tell Iowa’s story in a fun, engaging way.

“It is a great way for ‘Iowa lovers’ to share what they like about our state,” said Gerry Schnepf, KIB Executive Director.

The deadline is November 30, 2012 and entries must be submitted electronically. The entry fee is $5 per entry and all entry fees will go toward contest cash awards and to support KIB’s programs & services to Iowa communities.

Keep Iowa Beautiful’s mission is to empower Iowans to make Iowa the cleanest and most attractive state in the nation. By working directly with Iowa communities, corporations and private citizens, KIB is building new citizen pride in caring for Iowa. KIB wants to learn what resonates with Iowans based on the photographs they share through this photography contest. Photos and winner’s names will be posted on the KIB website after January 1, 2013.
