Muskingum SWCD 2007 Photography Contest

This year the Muskingum Soil and Water Conservation District held their very first amateur photography contest.  The event was a great success with 125 entries.  Each category was judged by a panel of judges chosen by the District and narrowed down to the top three photos.  The top three photos were voted on by the public at the Annual Meeting and Banquet on November 3rd, 2007.  Below are the finalist and winners from each category and division.
