Coleman Talley LLP and Valdosta Main Street are proud to partner with the City of Valdosta and the Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts for the 11th Annual Valdosta People’s Choice Photo Contest. The local tradition invites people to capture the beauty of Valdosta and Lowndes County on camera.

This year, photos entered into the photo contest will be printed on canvas wrap and hung in the Art Center Tillman Gallery. A $12 fee for one photo or $20 fee for two photos will be applied to have your photo printed on the canvas.

Interested individuals are welcome to submit up to two entries; however, all photographs must be taken within the Lowndes County limits. Entries must be electronically submitted to abecton@valdostacity.com by May 15, 2019, where they will be displayed in the Center’s Tillman Gallery beginning June 10.

A reception will be held at the arts center on June 10 to kick off the people’s choice voting, which will run through July 10. For four weeks, the public can view and vote for their favorite photo entries.

Overall winners and honorable mentions for the adult photos and the overall Best of Show award for Youth will be announced at a reception at the arts center on Monday, July 15, from 5- 7 p.m. Monetary prizes will be awarded to all winners.

For more information, call the Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts at 229-247-2787 or the city’s Public Information Office at 229-259-3548.
