Flagler County is seeking photographers who would like to do more than chat about their snaps to submit their images for the Florida Association of Counties (FAC) 2024 calendar contest “Skylines of the Sunshine State.”
“This is a challenging theme as Flagler County has more of an Old Florida charm than the typical urban cityscapes that come to mind when you hear the word skylines, but that also opens the door for a lot of creativity,” said County Administrator Heidi Petito. “I also know we have a lot of great photographers in our community, so we are reaching out for help in presenting to the rest of the state of Florida our home.”
“Skylines of the Sunshine State” submissions can include: Energetic Skylines, Architectural Marvels, Waterfront Views, Beautiful Tree Canopies, according to FAC contest rules. “Whether your county is rural or urban, we want to see your county in the visual celebration of the sunshine state,” the FAC website states.
Flagler County will submit the entries on behalf of individual photographers. The Florida Association of Counties will give photographers credit for their images in the calendar.
“In the past when we have had a winning entry, FAC provided us with additional copies,” Petito said. “I fully expect that we will be able to provide calendars to the winning photographer.”
Entry requirements are as follows:
Theme – “Skylines of the Sunshine State.”
MUST BE SHOT IN FLAGLER COUNTY (it is helpful if the location is identified).
Photos must be at least 3000 pixels / 300 DPI and in .JPEG format (horizontal format for calendar).
Photos with logos, names, time and date stamps, or watermarks will not be accepted.
Flagler County deadline is August 14 (Monday) so that the county can get them prepared for submission and submitted.
Submit to jmurphy@flaglercounty.gov
A submission attests to the fact that the photographer/submitter has all rights and permissions to the photo (and for the images/likenesses of any identifiable people) and is allowing Flagler County to submit the photo in the 2024 Florida Association of Counties 11th Annual Photo Contest, as well as for other county uses, none of which are for profit. Please include the following with the submission:
“I, (full name) , hereby certify that the attached photo is the original work of the entrant. It is also understood that Flagler County will have the right to reproduce, publish and/or exhibit the work in any format including newspapers, brochures, the county website, or Facebook and other social media pages. It is further understood that Flagler County assumes no responsibility or liability for any submitted work.”
