April 4, 2016 - The Shelby County 4-H Photography contest was held on March 29, 2016 in the Shelby County Courthouse. We had a record number of participants ranked by the age divisions of Senior, Intermediate and Junior and judged in 15 different categories.
The top three winners for Judges Pick in each age division were as follows:
• Senior division: Tori Baker in the Details and Macro category with “I Do.”
• Intermediate division: Mason Barbee in the People category with “Lil Hunter.”
• Junior division: Lily Martin in the Plant/Flora category with “Firey Blossoms.”
The next show is at the district level and it will be conducted on April 30, 2016 at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches. Senior age division photographs that placed first at the county level will automatically advance to the state level to be judged.
The photographs are on exhibit on the first floor of courthouse. Please stop by and check out the great job these youth did in taking their photographs.
A special thank you to Mrs. Tasha Jones for leading the 4-H photography project and for sharing excellent and invaluable photography skills with the 4-H project members.
