Cornell Cooperative Extension is looking for entrants for its 2014 photo contest. The theme is: "A Good Thing Growing - Celebrating Niagara County Agriculture." Organizers are looking to recognize, promote and celebrate:

  • Farmers and their families;
  • The produce they grow;
  • The animals they raise;
  • The beauty of their land; and
  • Their contribution to the community.

The winners will receive:

  • First place: $100 cash prize;
  • Second place: $50 cash prize;
  • Third place: $25 cash prize; and
  • Honorable mention (two): $15.

CCE Niagara County will choose the top photographs to put to a community vote. All entries will be displayed during the 2014 Niagara County Fair, which runs July 30-Aug. 3 at 4487 Lake Ave., Lockport (if space allows).

The winning photos will be chosen by a community vote. Voting on the top photographs chosen will open July 30 at 10 a.m. and close Aug. 3 at 1 p.m. Votes may be cast by the following methods:
