The Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority Coleto Creek Park staff in partnership with the Victoria Photo Club have announced plans for the Annual Coleto Creek Photo Contest. The deadline for submissions is noon, May 14, 2011. Photos will be judged on May 17-18, and the winning entries will be on display at the Coleto Creek Park’s Headquarters over the Memorial Day Weekend. Winners will be selected in the Adult Division for the following categories; animals/fauna, landscapes/wildflowers, reptiles/amphibians, birds/insects, and people/recreation activities, as well as “Best of Show.” Plus this year, a new adult category called “Creative” will include images that have been obviously manipulated to present “altered” or “artistic reality”. For student entries, there will be a separate General Student Category. The Best of Show and 1st place winners in each category will each receive a cash prize. All entries for the contest should be mailed or dropped off at the Coleto Creek Park Office, 365 Coleto Park Road, Victoria, Texas, 77905. All submitted photos this year must be in a digital format.

By submitting photos to this contest all participants agree to allow GBRA Coleto Creek Park to use and publish the entered photos without further compensation to the photographer.
