Naturescapes competition deadline nearing!
Hi everyone,
This is a gentle reminder that the Naturescapes deadline will be here in two weeks, on July 21st. This year you may enter up to 8 photos made anywhere in Hays county, and there are no restrictive categories. You may enter online, by mail or in-person. Complete information is available at http://hcphotoclub.org/naturescapes.html.
Naturescapes is cosponsored by the Hill Country Photography Club and the San Marcos Greenbelt Alliance. We're very pleased that this year's juror is renowned landscape photographer Laurence Parent.
During the past 3 competitions club members have done very well, winning a good share of the awards. I hope that we have a repeat this year.
I look forward to seeing your entries.
Thanks,
Herb Smith
