State Dog Show Photo contest!!

When the Management Team cancelled the Texas 4-H Dog Show, it was decided to expand the opportunity to participate in the Dog Photography Contest.  This contest is open to any enrolled 4-H member.  To enter go to https://walker.agrilife.org/4h/texas-4-h-dog-show-photography-contest/ .  The Management Team has determined to waive the entry fee.  Entry deadline will be July 1, 2020.  If you submitted photo to the Texas 4-H Dog Show Photography Contest, please re-submit them in this system.

To help with processing, please name your photos with the following format:  Category, Exhibitor’s Last Name and First Initial.  For example, if Suzy Clover was entering a photo into the “Theme” category, the photo would be named “theme.clover.s”  Siblings with the same initials may want to use the whole first name.

The categories have also expanded to include:

Dog Still Life – Dogs alone or in a group which are posed or not moving.  Such photos should focus on participation in the companion animal project.
