ZOOM IN on Newport News Photo Contest Starts June 1
By: City of Newport News
| Submit your photo by Oct. 31 for a chance to win $500 |
| The spring and summer months are an ideal time to take photos in Newport News, and this year your photograph might win you $500. Kicking off tomorrow, June 1, the city’s ZOOM IN on Newport News Photo Contest is returning for its 13th year! The theme for this year’s competition is “H₂O in NN.” Of the 120 square miles that is Newport News, 51 square miles is water which means there should be no problem finding the perfect photo of Newport News that includes water. Even the aquariums at the Virginia Living Museum are suitable backdrops for your submissions. If it includes water in Newport News, consider it entry-worthy! Entries will be accepted through Oct. 31. Participants must be at least 12 years old. There will be a grand prize of $500 to a single winner. An honorable mention prize of two VIP Passports for four people to enjoy the attractions in Newport News, valued at more than $100, is awarded to the runner-up. Visit www.newport-news.org for full contest details – including entry form, submission guidelines, location ideas, and other suggestions to help you get started. Call the Newport News Visitor Center at 757-886-7777 or 888-493-7386 for additional information. |
