"Take a Shot" and Enter Photo Contest
Historic Southern Indiana, an outreach program of the University of
Southern Indiana, in conjunction with Indiana’s Historic Highways, a
state scenic byway, is accepting submissions for the “Take a Shot”
photography contest through November 1. Photos submitted to the contest
will be used to promote southern Indiana as a preferred travel
destination by showing great visitor experiences and opportunities.
Indiana’s Historic Pathways was designated a state scenic byway in 2004
and is currently under review for national scenic byway designation. The
Y-shaped route stretches 250 miles across the southern half of Indiana,
along U.S.50/ U.S. 150 from Vincennes to the town of Shoals. At that
point, it forks and continues along U.S. 50 to Lawrenceburg and along
U.S. 150 to the Falls of the Ohio. (To view the route, go to
www.usi.edu/hsi/resources/IHP.asp ).
Photos must be recent and taken in southern Indiana along or near the
byway route. Images should convey the beauty, spirit, and character of
Indiana’s Historic Pathways and the breadth of experiences that visitors
and residents can enjoy. If possible, photos should show people
experiencing all that Indiana’s Historic Pathways has to offer: scenic
vistas, outdoor recreation, historical sites, main street scenes,
attractions along the byway, and “slice of life” portraits of southern
Indiana.
Two $250 prizes will be awarded: one to an adult, and one to a youth in
6th through 12th grade. Honorable mentions also will be awarded.
The “Take a Shot” contest is open to all U.S. residents. Both amateur
and professional photographers of any age are eligible to participate.
There is no entry fee. Submissions will become the property of Indiana’s
Historic Pathways.
Up to 10 images may be submitted per person. For a complete list of
submission guidelines and an entry form, go to
www.usi.edu/hsi or call
812/465-7014.
