– It is time to get out the cameras! Gulfside Regional Hospice is holding a photo contest to find at least 13 photos to feature in Gulfside’s 2014 monthly calendar. Previous calendars have showcased Pasco County’s natural beauty, wildlife, and even special events.
Each photographer can submit as many pictures as they want, but in the final calendar, there will not be more than two winning entries per person. All photos submitted must be shot in Pasco County and be sizeable for printing at 12 inches wide by 9 inches high. The deadline for submitting photos is 5 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 15, 2013.
Winning photos will be selected by a team of Gulfside’s staff and volunteers. Those who submit a winning entry will be notified by Sept. 30, 2013. Each winner will receive five calendars featuring their photo in November as well as a gift certificate from Gulfside Regional Hospice Thrift Shoppe. Winning photos will also be featured throughout 2014 on Gulfside’s Facebook page.
