NEWTON, Kan. — The annual Best of Newton Photo Contest will be accepting entries now through October 21. The free contest gives photographers multiple opportunities to be recognized.
The contest will have two categories this year – the open category and one on people of Newton. The feature category can include photos of people doing activities, daily life, and all things that highlight life and fun in Newton.
Individuals may submit up to five entries in each category. Entries are accepted from Newton residents and visitors.
Photos will be considered for three different forms of recognition:
- The Best of Newton Photo Contest, in which photos will be judged for prizes. The top three in each category will receive Chamber Checks of $100 for first place, $75 for second, $50 for third. Any entries deemed worthy of honorable mention will receive $25.
- The Newton 2025 calendar, which will feature 12 images to reflect a year in Newton. Photos chosen for the calendar will be horizontal on 4:3 scale or cropped horizontally.
- A People’s Choice contest through the Choose Newton Facebook page, where Likes help select the most popular photos and the winners of $10 Chamber Checks gift certificates.
