Photo subject can include camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, scenic landscapes, plants and animals. Those are suggested topics, but other possibilities are endless.
The contest will be divided into three age groups: grades 1 to 5, grades 6 to 8, and grades 9 to 12. The competition begins Feb. 1.
All entries must be postmarked by March 21. Entries should be submitted as 8-by-10 prints, no emails will be accepted and there is a limit of two entries per person.
The photos will be judged on creativity, photographic technique, and originality.
First, second and third place prizes will be awarded in each category. Winning entries will be exhibited at the Oklahoma History Center.
The display will be in conjunction with the special exhibit 'Field, Forest and Stream' that celebrates our state's rich outdoor heritage. The exhibit will relate the history of hunting, fishing, outdoor recreation and conservation in Oklahoma utilizing artifacts, dynamic graphics, audio-visual elements and hands-on interactives. It will open April 3 in the Gaylord Special Exhibits Gallery.
Winners will be announced on April 3, 2008 on the Oklahoma Historical Society web page, www.okhistory.org/kids. Additional information about the contest is posted on that web page.
