Route 66 scenes can be found inside or outside from Skippy’s to the World’s Largest Rocking Chair. Think outside the box and use your imagination. Keep a Route 66 theme though.
Route 66 is an important part of Cuba, Missouri’s history, and it is important that young people are aware of this legacy. For that reason Viva Cuba, a community betterment organization, is challenging our young people to “Picture This on Route 66.” Kids use your creativity and photographic skill and you might win some dollars and get your photo displayed at the Route 66 Cuba Fest 2012 on October 20-21.
The Viva Cuba organization, in conjunction with Route 66 Cuba Fest 2012, announces a photo contest with a Route 66 theme titled Picture This On Route 66 for students in the Crawford County RII school district in the following age categories. Category I—ages 9-13. Category II—ages 14-18. As long as students are in the district, home school and private school students can participate.
Entries, interior or exterior shots, can be taken along Route 66 from Skippy’s Restaurant in Leasburg to the Route 66 Outpost in Fanning, Missouri. Three judges with expertise in photography will judge the entries on technical skill, composition, originality, and compliance with the theme and contest rules. Only one entry per contestant is allowed.
All entries must be turned into the Highway 19 Peoples Bank by the end of the business day Monday, October 1. No late entries will be accepted.
Prizes will be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in each category ($75, $50, and $25). As many photos as possible will be displayed at the Route 66 Cuba Fest 2012. The entry form and more detailed rules can be accessed on the Viva Cuba website. Please print out the entry form and read it carefully. Mark your calendar to turn in your entry on time.
Kids take your best shot. We are looking for some winners.
Read the form carefully and meet the deadline for entries.
