Photo Contest

Make memories etched in images.

By Craig Reem Published: July, 2006

Make memories etched in images

The best compliment I ever received for  the boatload of photographs I take of the family came shortly after the  new year.

The photographer I most admire told me  that our Christmas card – a  photo of my three boys running down a sand dune – would be the  one his family keeps forever.

That particular photograph moved me enough to finally finish my first book; it  became the image on the cover.

So now we have our first annual OC  Family & Inland  Empire Family Magazine’s Family Photo Contest, of which you are invited to participate. Why? I’ve  always been intrigued with photo contests not only because the art is something  I admire, but the entries also reflect the readership. We have carefully defined  the categories of this photo contest to define who we reach – families  with babies; with the early years; with the middle years; and with the teen years.  And, families as families. There are five categories in all.

We hope that you  drop everything and go online to participate. Enter a photo or two that best  reflects the life you live at home. It should be the photo you  might send as a holiday card, or one you would feel proud to put on the cover  of your first, or next, book.

We have purposely extended the deadline  through summer; this gives families an opportunity to take the drop-dead  photo during  summer vacation, when the kids, the clouds, the sun and the landscape often seem to perfectly match.

We will print  the winners and the honorable mention photographers in our December issues  of OC Family and Inland Empire Family magazines. The winners earn prizes.

The  best magazine photo contest – to date – is the one sponsored  by Smithsonian magazine (photocontest.smithsonianmag.com/). With your help, ours  will be even better.
