“Each year, we receive upwards of 800 images from dozens of talented photographers illustrating progressive agriculture operations,” says Kristie Matuszewski, Farm Credit East director of marketing and communications. “We look for fresh imagery that represents Northeast farming, horticulture, forestry and commercial fishing during every season, as well as shots that celebrate rural life in New England, New York or New Jersey.”
Photos are selected based on technical quality, clarity and composition, as well as photos that capture unique views of modern agriculture and life in the country. From all entries, 14 photos will be selected for a $100 prize each. Additional photos will be selected to fill the calendar pages, each earning a $25 prize. Winning photographs will be featured in Farm Credit East’s 2025 calendar.
Only digital photos are accepted. Contest rules and an entry form, as well as inspiration from previous calendars, can be found at FarmCreditEast.com/Calendar. The submission deadline is July 31, 2024.
