Lansing Fish Days hosting Photo Contest again this year ...

The Lansing Fish Days Committee is hosting a photography contest in conjunction with the annual community celebration being held August 13-15. Photographers of all ages are encouraged to participate. Each photographer can submit up to three photos, and it is asked that all photos be in a 5”x7” format and printed on photo paper. The photos will be displayed in plastic sleeves.

The contest will involve two categories, “Out and About in Lansing” and “Lansing’s Black Hawk Bridge,” such as the submitted photo above. There is no fee to enter the contest, but all submitted photographs become property of the Lansing Lions Club to be used as seen fit. The images, however, remain the property of the entrant. Prizes will be awarded in each category, including First Prize of $25; Second Prize of $10; and People’s Choice Prize of $10. A Grand Prize of $50 and a Lansing Fish Days t-shirt will be awarded overall, with both categories being judged to determine an overall winner.

Photographs can be dropped off at Studio K on Main Street in Lansing or mailed to Lansing Lions Club, P.O. Box 102, Lansing, IA 52151 the week prior to Fish Days. Entries are asked to have the name and contact number of the photographer attached. Winners will be announced Saturday evening of Fish Days, August 14.
