Start those cameras clicking to capture the best examples of farming, ranching, and more to enter in the 2027 Falls on the Colorado Museum’s 2027 calendar contest.
The deadline for submission in the Agri-Life in the Hill Country-themed contest is 2 p.m. Saturday, May 2.
Public voting will begin on May 5.
“Burnet County was based on agriculture from the beginning,” said museum board chair Darlene Oostermeyer. “Photos could include abandoned rustic equipment, operating equipment at work in the fields, windmills, whether operating or not, or any livestock animals or produce.”
And don’t forget backyard gardens and chickens, she continued.
“They deserve recognition for contributing to local agriculture, too,” she said. “And think in terms of the 4-H and FFA kids and the livestock shows that support them. Think in terms of how agriculture has driven the economy of this county in the past and through to today.”
Photos should be in landscape orientation and can be submitted in person or on the website at fallsmuseum.org.
Printed photo submissions must be 8” x 10” and glossy or matte.
Calendar photo rules are posted on the museum website and Facebook page.
The photos submitted will be on display at the museum, 2001 Broadway in Marble Falls.
Visitors can vote on their favorites when viewing entries in the exhibit.
The cost is $5 for five votes.
The money from votes and the sale of the calendars in the Fall goes toward new and updated exhibits.
Renowned local photographer Martelle Luedecke will once again serve as the final judge.
She will also give a presentation on her choices when winners are announced during a fall program at the museum.
Museum hours are from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. Admission is free. For more information, visit the website at fallsmuseum.org or email [email protected].
