7 Tips on How To Win Our Photo Contest
Ever wonder what it takes to be a photo contest winner? Ready to fire up your digital flash and head off in search of the prize-winning photo?
Well, hang on just a minute. Last year’s Tennessee Farm Bureau Federation Photo Contest was another record-breaking year, with more than 1,500 submissions received – so you’ve got to admit that winning is not going to be a piece of cake. That’s why we thought we’d offer some inside advice from our panel of experts, all editors with Home & Farm’s publisher, Farm Flavor Media.
As past judges, they’re aware of the talents of the Farm Bureau members – they’ve seen everything from good to bad, from brilliant to boring. Whether or not you plan to enter the contest – which is already up and running and continues through July 31 – our panel offers some professional perspectives on how to make your bad photos better and your good photos great.

Jade,
It really depends on the quality of your cell phone camera. Most cell phone cameras do not have the capabilities (the megapixels) to shoot high-resolution photography. In order to be printed in our magazine, our photo contest winners need to be high resolution, at least 4×6 inches at 300dpi.
Thanks,
Jessy
