This Saturday and Sunday are the drop off days for the Iowa State Fair Photography Salon. It’s the only contest I enter, so some careful thought goes into my selection process. Only four photos are allowed per photographer and they must be in one of 24 categories.
Here are this year’s entries. They are in the categories of People (color), Leading Lines (color), Sports, and Panoramic.




The participants are notified by the second week in July if any photos is awarded and/or displayed. However, photographers have to wait until the Fair begins to find out what specific pictures are selected. As soon as I know, I’ll pass on the news (good or bad).
