The Peru Gazette

Calling all photographers!!! We’re so excited to invite you to participate in our brand-new 2024 Agricultural Photo Contest contest!

To highlight the best of NYS’s agricultural community, commodities, and livestock, we will pick a different topic each month and invite you to submit photos that fit that category. Photos will be voted on, and the first-place winners each month will have their photo posted here and included in a 2025 calendar spotlighting the best of New York ag. In addition to bragging rights, winners will also receive a copy of the calendar as thanks for their participation!

To kick off January, we want to see your pictures of the quiet, cold months before the planting season begins. With the winter solstice behind us, we watch winter light settle over cold ground as the days slowly grow a little longer, which is why the first category of our photo contest is Sunrises and Sunsets on the Farm.

To submit a photo for consideration, email it with a brief description of the photo to PressOffice@agriculture.ny.gov with the subject line: “AGM Photo Contest_January_Your Name”. Submissions for this month will be accepted through Wednesday, February 7. Visit https://agriculture.ny.gov/2024-agricultural-photo-contestto see the full contest details.

Ready… set… go!!!
