Over the 4th of July weekend, all are invited to take photos at any of the Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds (Coon Creek, Bo Woods, Lone Point, Opossum Creek, Lithia Springs) and then submit them by e-mail for judging. Top 3 photos will be chosen from 3 categories: — people
— animals
— plants
Contest Schedule: 4 July - Contest begins. 7 July - Contest ends. E-mail your photos to us by 9PM the next day (Monday 8 July 2013). 12 July - Winners will be notified via e-mail. Contest Rules: -All are welcome to participate. You do not need to be camping. -The categories are meant to be vague; be creative! -No date/time stamps on photos. We will use the “honor system”: please submit only photos taken at the campgrounds from 4-7 July 2013. -By submitting photos for this contest you give the Army Corps of Engineers permission to use your photos at and around the Visitor Center and in all future web and print publications. - The top 3 photos from each category will be automatically entered in the 2013 Shelby County Photo Contest. *NOTE: Winning the 2013 Campground Photo Contest DOES NOT mean you have won the 2013 Shelby County Photo Contest.
