Winter Photo Contest
Take Photos December - February 

This winter, Klehm will hold another photography competition. The competition will run from December 1, 2012 to February 28, 2013, and submissions will be due by March 1st. 

 

We want the whole family to participate, so the competition has a child and adult category. Children 14 and under can participate in the Children's contest. Adults and young adults 15 and older will participate in the Adult contest. The submission form and contest rules will be posted to www.klehm.org the first week in December.
