NCGA Announces Winner of Corn Photo Contest
USAgNet - 01/29/2020
While 2019 was a challenging year for many farmers, photographers shared their stories in the sixth National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) Fields-of-Corn Photo Contest. This year, NCGA awarded two Grand Prizes. One selected by a panel
of judges, submitted by Harlen Persinger from Wisconsin with the photo titled "Solid Foundation." A grand prize was also awarded for the single most popular photo, taken by Tricia Braid of Illinois, "Reflecting on 2019" which gained 1,272 likes on
Facebook.
"These photos represent a combination of difficulty and optimism," said NCGA Graphic Communications Manager Beth Musgrove. "With delays in planting and harvest for many, the contest was naturally off to a slow start, but the overall outcome
gives us so much to look back on."
In total, 23 prizes were awarded across seven categories ranging from farming challenges to growing field corn to the farm family lifestyle. Winners are determined through a combination of Facebook likes and consideration of a panel of judges.
Images submitted to the contest are valuable assets for NCGA in publications, social media channels and the website. The contest will re-open spring 2020.
