Cobb Fun in the Park Photo Contest Archives

East Cobb Park reopens — *East Cobb Park*

Cobb PARKS is accepting entries in its 18th annual Fun in the Park Photo Contest. (The photos in this post are what we’ve taken in the past on our visits to parks in the East Cobb area; we’ve never submitted them for the contest.)

Participants can submit up to 10 of their favorite photos taken at county and city parks until Nov. 2. Entries are not accepted for photos taken at national parks or those outside Cobb County.

The categories include nature and wildlife, sports and action and general, and there is no charge to enter the contest.

Here’s some very specific information on photo files and how to label and submit them:

Photos should be in full-size jpeg format with no watermarks or signatures on the image. Name the files with your name, category and photo # – (example: John Doe_NW_01). This would represent your file as John Doe > Nature and Wildlife > photo #1. Digital photos must be accompanied by an entry form. Entries that are submitted by email will need entry information in the email with the category for each picture and number indicated. Cobb PARKS reserves the right to not accept photos deemed inappropriate.

Submit entries to Mark.Chandler@cobbcounty.org.

Plaques will be awarded for first, second, third and honorable mention for each category.

Judges will be provided by the Cobb Photographic Society and Cobb County PARKS. Winners will be notified by email by the first week in December.

Nearly 400 photos were submitted for the 2022 contest (previous winners’ photos here)
