The deadline is fast approaching. Get your photos in by February 5th. Follow the link for rules and entry forms. Photo Contest Rules and Entry Forms
I have posted some hints below. Take a look at the slide show from past years. I have to say that not all the judged winners were the People Choice winners. It is a side of the contest we added last year.

HINTS for success from past photo contests
Hints from watching the judging and talking to the judges.
1. Captions DO matter. It helps "get the point" across of the picture. Emphasis.
2. Correct presentation, i.e. mounting is an asset. Poorly mounted, not mounted and the wrong size get shuffled to the bottom of the pile.3. In focus pictures (yes, it's true) always receive the judges attention.
4. If submitting a picture printed on an inkjet make sure that it isn’t streaked, or grainy.
5. Is okay to "photoshop" your entry, but know what you are doing. The pros can tell when a picture has been tweaked and done badly. So, even if the composition is good, and the the other elements mentioned above; zap, to the bottom of the pile.
Categories:
“Foaling Around –Everybody Loves a Baby!,” --Looking for adorable baby pictures.
“What a Clown!, Funny horse moments."-- No tongues, please! You would be surprised how many of those pictures we have received.
“Beautiful Arabians” --A photo image that captures the grace and beauty of the Arabian. It can be a horse in motion, or standing.
“Horse and Buddy.” --That magic moment either between horse and other animal, horse and human.
