NC 4-H Photo Contest

 Formally known as the NC 4-H Photo Contest, this statewide annual contest highlights NC 4-H’ers photographic achievements.  The winning photos will be displayed on the NC 4-H Photo Contest website.  

In addition to 4-H In Action and Nature's Beauty, the new category for 2022 is SPECIAL EFFECTS.  

Special effects could be almost anything like positioning a friend so it looks like a tree branch is growing out of their mouth. Maybe take a photo where everything is blurred except the focal point. Create an image of someone that has an extra set of hands or legs. Use a crystal ball to capture a reflection. Maybe take a photograph of your friend holding up a building with the palm of their hand.  

We want you to EXPLORE photography. Be CREATIVE! Take time to research how to take the best picture possible and Practice, Practice, Practice. We want you to Have FUN!!
