The Tioga County Council on the Arts (TCCA) will begin accepting entries for their 6th Annual Amateur Animal Photo Contest on June 1, 2000. The photographs will be judged by Debra Muska, award-winning photographer of Animal Images.

All animal photographs are acceptable, however animals must be the priority in the photograph. There will be two categories: "Photogenic" and "Humorous." There will also be "Best of Show" and "Most Popular."

Entries must be a minimum of 4" x 6" and a maximum of 8" x 10", unframed and unmatted. There is a $5.00 fee per entry. All entries are due at the TCCA office by Noon on Friday, August 25, 2000.

Winning entries will be chosen by September 1, 2000. All entries will be on display at Agway, West Avenue in Owego beginning September 11.
