METROPOLIS – State Representative Patrick Windhorst is reminding residents that next Friday, November 8, is the deadline for submission of photos for his annual “Southern Illinois is Beautiful” photo contest.
“This year’s contest offers two categories. Students aged Kindergarten through age 21 will make up our student category, and our adult category is for those over the age of 21,” Windhorst said. “We are already receiving some beautiful submissions, and I believe this ‘Southern Illinois is Beautiful’ photo contest will be even bigger and better than last year,” Windhorst said.
Contest photos should be submitted via email to Windhorst@ILHouseGOP.org by November 8, 2024 at midnight. Photo submissions must include the photographer’s name and the location of the photo located in Southern Illinois.
Three finalists will be chosen in each category. Voting will open on Tuesday, November 12th and last through Tuesday, November 26th at 5:00 PM. Three finalists will be chosen per category. Finalist’s photos will be made available on Rep. Windhorst’s official Facebook page for voting. The photos earning the most likes and loves will be declared the winners. Winners will be announced at Noon on Friday, November 29th. Winning photos will be displayed in Rep. Windhorst’s Harrisburg and West Frankfort District Offices and his Springfield Capitol office. Winning contestants will receive an official certificate of congratulations from the Illinois House of Representatives. All photograph submissions MUST be the original work of the photographer.
