Historical Society’s History in Making Contest

Area photographers are invited to enter the History in the Making Photo Contest, sponsored by the Huntington County Historical Society and Frederick’s Photography.

Photos of people and sites in Huntington County can be entered in the contest. All photos submitted will become part of the permanent archives of the Huntington County Historical Society, where they will give future residents a glimpse of life in the Huntington County of today.

The winners will be displayed at the Forks of the Wabash Pioneer Festival, at the Huntington County Historical Society booth.

Photos must have been taken in Huntington County within the past five years. Each photo must be accompanied by the following information: photographer’s name; address and phone number; date and place where the photo was taken; the names of any people in the photo and the category in which the photo is being entered. Each photographer may enter a maximum of one photograph in each category.

Social environment entries can be photos of people at home, school, work or leisure. Physical environment entries can be interior or exterior photos of man-made structures or sites or photos of natural phenomena such as floods, storms or fires.

Winners will be notified by mail and will be recognized on Saturday at the Pioneer Festival. First place winners will receive a certificate, $50, and a prize from Frederick’s Photography. Second place winners will receive a certificate, $25 and one-year family membership to the Huntington County Historical Society.
