In the next installment of our Shutterbug Photography Contest, The Tennessee Magazine is partnering with the Wilson County-Tennessee State Fair to highlight “95 Reasons to Celebrate Tennessee.” The topic is general, giving you plenty of room for creativity; we do want to know the town and county where each photo was taken.
There is much to celebrate across Tennessee, and we’d love to see each of the state’s 95 counties represented among the entries. The Tennessee Magazine will name first-, second- and third-place winners as well as honorable mention recipients in each division — Shutterbug, Junior Shutterbug (ages 17 and younger) and Professional.
As a bonus this year, the fair will bestow additional honors upon entries highlighting the spotlighted agriculture commodity — pork. Go hog wild in exploring this additional theme.
Images can include people or not, and they can be selfies. As you accept this challenge, please stay safe. We don’t want anyone to take a tumble in the name of the Shutterbug contest.
