Department of Agriculture hosting photo contest

Indiana Department of Agriculture is accepting submissions for the annual Indiana Agriculture Photo Contest during the month of June.

The contest — it’s open to all Indiana residents — was created to “recognize the hard work and contributions of Hoosier farmers, as well as the beauty of the state’s agricultural landscape,” according to a press release from the department.

Categories include:

•On the Farm: Showcasing any building, piece of equipment or activity that is a part of life on an Indiana farm.

•Faces of Agriculture: Featuring those who grow and produce food, fuel and fiber in Indiana.

•Agritourism: Spotlighting Indiana’s seasonal and agricultural destinations, such as orchards, wineries and farmers markets.

•Conservation: Highlighting Indiana’s natural beauty with landscapes, water and wildlife.

Ten winners will be selected, with two from each category and two overall winners. Contestants may submit up to five photos, which will be evaluated based on creativity, composition and category representation. Entries must be submitted by 5 p.m. June 30.
