Accelerated Genetics announces their 2008 photo contest theme: ‘Caught in the Act.’ Deadline for entries is September 1, 2008 – plenty of time for you to get a contest winning photo! Visit the Accelerated Genetics website for all the official rules.

Accelerated Genetics wants photos of producers, employees or their families caught in the act of farm work. Whether they are milking cows, feeding animals, pushing animals through a chute, rounding up the herd or any other farm labor activity is fair game for this year’s contest. Photos should include both people and beef or dairy cows conducting ‘farm business’ throughout the various months of the year.

Multiple photos can be entered in the contest, but we want you to send in your best, so before you send them think about these things: 1) Is the photo clear and crisp, not foggy or cloudy. 2) Do the animals look healthy and reasonably clean. 3) Are the people in the photos clearly captured at work, not posed. And is their clothing suitable for farm work, yet relatively clean.
