Cross Trail Outfitters today announced its 2005 Youth Hunting and Fishing Photo Contest. The organization is looking for the very best amateur photographs of young people having fun hunting or fishing.
The theme of this year’s contest is, “Fun in God’s Great Outdoors.” The grand prize winner who submits the best photo will win a choice of a free parent/child Axis deer hunt or guided kayak bay fishing trip.
Photos will be judged both on photographic quality and on how well they represent the theme. All photos must include at least one young person in a fishing or hunting setting.
Finalists will be selected by a panel of outdoor writers, and the final prize winners will be determined by an online vote on the CTO website, http://www.teamcto.org.
Entering the contest is free, and participants may submit as many photos as they wish. Photos may be submitted either hard copy (prints) or online (digital).
In addition to the grand prize hunting or fishing trip, three additional winners will receive valuable gift certificates good toward tuition to the 2005 CTO Hunting and Fishing Summer Camps.
CTO is a non-profit Christian club for boys and young men ages 7-20 who have an interest in hunting and fishing. In addition to popular summer camps, the club offers year-round hunting and fishing trips, skills training, fun shoots, and other activities.
Deadline for submission is March 31, and the winners will be announced in late April.
