Missouri – On April 5, 2024, the Missouri Department of Agriculture launched the 15th annual Focus on Missouri Agriculture photo contest. The contest will run through June 7 as an opportunity for photographers to submit their images of Missouri agriculture.
This contest is open to Missouri photographers of all ages. People are allowed to enter up to three photos in each of the categories which are: Beauty of the Farm, Faces of the Farmer, Around the Barnyard, Everyday Life, and Kid’s Corner ( for youth ages 12 and under).
The entries are judged on visual impact, creativity, memorable content, and image quality. The Best of Show winner and the 1st place winner of each category will receive a prize of a Missouri Grown basket and a canvas print of the photo. After, Governor Mike Parson, will pick a First Family’s Choice Photo.
