Full-color photos, transparencies, slides, paintings, and digital images with a horizontal format are being accepted.
It is suggested that digital images be taken with a 4-megapixel digital camera at a high-resolution setting using optical zoom (digital zoom can distort the image). Digital submissions must be approximately 8x10 printed on photographic paper for judging and also on CD.
Only full-color entries will be accepted. Entries can portray the people, places, animals, activities, landscapes, buildings and cultural attractions but must be in Berkshire County.
Cash prizes totaling $1,050 will be awarded and all entrants will receive a complimentary 2010 calendar for participating in the contest.
