From staff reports

TIFTON — The Georgia Peanut Commission is hosting a photo contest through Oct. 1, featuring peanut farms from across the state to fill the pages of the 2024 Georgia Peanut Calendar.

Photos also will be selected to be used in various promotional projects by GPC throughout the year. Georgia farmers are encouraged to submit their best high-resolution photo from throughout the growing season. Winning entries will be selected for each month of the calendar, as well as the cover page. Below are tips to consider when selecting a photo to enter:

♦ Make sure the photo is not offensive and avoid photos with large, easy to read corporate logos;

♦ Think about the months of the year and select photos that represent them. For example, land prep work in the winter, planting in the spring, irrigation in the summer and harvest in the fall;

♦ Make sure photos are taken in horizontal format, so they will fill the entire page of the calendar;

♦ Showcase your family (young and old) and what being a Georgia peanut farmer means to you;

♦ Choose a photo you feel helps others understand more about how you care for the crop they love.

Photo entries must be taken during the 2021, 2022 or 2023 peanut crop year and feature peanut production. Entries must also be high resolution (300 dpi), horizontal and not taken with a phone; otherwise, they may be disqualified. Please submit photos in .jpg format and submit them with the online entry form provided on www.gapeanuts.com by Oct. 1 for consideration. Winning entries will be entered for a chance to win a Visa gift card. Visit www.gapeanuts.com for complete details.
