Vote in the Celebrate Oconee Photo Contest

Voting ends this Wednesday, Aug. 22, at 5pm for the Celebrate Oconee Photo Contest sponsored by the Oconee Heritage Center (OHC). Local photographers were challenged to enter their best photographs of Oconee County and 56 photos were submitted. Don’t miss the opportunity to vote for your favorite, says OHC Assistant Curator Jennifer Moss. “Photographers were asked to take photos in three categories: historic places, people, and natural beauty. We received so many beautiful photographs. A group of local dignitaries will judge the photographs on creativity, composition and relevance to the contest themes. The public is invited to vote for the People’s Choice Award. To vote for your favorite photograph, stop by OHC to view the exhibit. When you know which photo is your favorite, write it down on the slip of paper provided and place it in the box. You can also vote through the OHC’s Facebook page. Vote by liking the individual photo in the “Celebrate Oconee Photo Contest” album on the OHC Facebook page.” Winners will be announced on Thursday, Aug. 23. The Celebrate Oconee Photo Contest was held to commemorate Oconee County’s Sesquicentennial, or 150th birthday.
