County of Gaston issued the following announcement on Oct. 2.
Our countywide photo contest returns for Year 2, and it kicks off today!
We have 3 categories that return from last year: Buildings, Nature and Events. We’re looking for anything that was shot in Gaston County by either a Gaston County resident or someone who works in Gaston County between Nov. 1, 2020 and Oct. 31, 2021.
Entrants into the contest attest that they are the owner of the rights to the photo and that you agree that the county may use the photo In its publications, on its website and/or social media pages. In addition, you further agree that in submitting photos into the contest, you waive your right to payment for their use by the county.
Last year, residents Julie Kiser, Phillip Lewis, Bob Mulholland and Jenn Phillips were our winners. Their photos were framed and are on display in the Gaston County Administration Building, and were used in Gaston County’s Annual Report.
This year’s contest is open the entire month of October. All submissions should be sent by email to Communications Director Adam.Gaub@GastonGov.com with the name of the photographer, the category and the date the photo was taken.
A committee will review submissions and announce winners for each category, as well as “Best Overall” in mid-November. All winners will have their photos framed and displayed in the County Administration Building beginning in January.
