Since there are so many different types of cameras, check your owner's manual or search the web with your camera model or phone manufacturer.
Photos will be reviewed between 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday. If you enter after hours, your entry will be posted the next business day.
Photos will be used for educational, editorial and marketing purposes for NCGA and state affiliates.
Once your photo is submitted it becomes part of a photo library resource for the National Corn Growers Association and affiliate state organizations, and other groups NCGA approves to use. Please make sure you understand the rules when you submit your photos.
No, the same photo can only be entered once, even if you think it qualifies for more than one category.
