Photo contest voting continues until June 2 at the Dubois County Museum

The Dubois County Museum at 2704 N Newton Street in Jasper welcomes the public to visit the museum and cast their vote for the best photo in the first annual Photo Contest.

The theme of the contest is “Your Favorite Photo.” Exactly 100 photos have been submitted to the contest. The photos on display have a variety of subjects, including flowers, animals, birds, landscapes, family, nature, waterfalls, sunsets, macro pics of spider webs and cuddly family pets.

Photos will be on display for viewing and public voting through June 2, 2024. The public is encouraged to participate in the voting. You are asked to choose three photos (because the organizers know it is hard to just choose one).

The votes will be tabulated, and the highest vote-getters will be deemed the champions. Cash prizes will be awarded in each category to those receiving the highest votes. Thank you to Smithville Communications for the financial support. A special award will also be presented, judged by local photographers, B.C. Baggett and Kia Kalb.

Winners will be announced on June 3, 2024, via Facebook and through local media. After the contest, all photos may be picked up at the Museum between June 4 and June 15.  

Ballots are available at the lobby desk. Admission to the museum will be charged to those wishing to enter to vote. After voting for your favorite photo, you are welcome to explore the 50,000 square feet of exhibits. Check out the two new exhibits, Beauty and Barber Shops and Wood Industry in Dubois County.
