The Chatham 250 Planning Committee is thrilled to announce the winners of the Agriculture Photo Contest. In the 11-17 age category Macy Beavers is the winner. Kristi Eskelund and Barbara Hengstenberg are the winners of the 18-64 age category, and Zen Shoemaker and Gary Simpson are the winners of the 65 and over age category. Congratulations to all the winners and their captivating and engaging photographs. Focusing on the key area of Agriculture, the photo contest was a featured event in the Chatham 250 Passport Experience, which is designed to assist in the exploration of Chatham County in honor of its 250th anniversary.
The contest requested photographs that highlight agriculture in Chatham County, including agricultural landscapes, livestock, farm activities like planting and harvesting, farm equipment, and farm workers. Each contestant also included a written reflection explaining the significance of the photo. The judging committee received many beautiful entries making this a difficult contest to judge. Winners were selected not only for the beauty of their photograph, but also for their thoughtful and careful consideration put into their reflection. The judging committee would like to thank all contestants for their entries. It was a pleasure to judge such wonderful photographs.
Winners received a canvas print of their photo, and winning photos will be published in Chatham Magazine. The Chatham 250 Agriculture event is generously sponsored by Chatham County Farm Bureau.
