As part of our 2015 Catskills Food Guide, which we're working on now, we're hosting a Catskills Food Guide Photo Contest, sponsored by the Peekamoose Restaurant & Tap Room in Big Indian.
Photos of Catskills foods, farms, or food-related subjects are all eligible. The idea is to showcase the incredible bounty of our region.
Winners will be featured in the 2015 Catskills Food Guide, and one grand prize winner gets a $75 gift certificate to the Peekamoose.
These contests are always a blast. Spread the word! You've got exactly two weeks to email us the perfect shot.
Also, since we're talking about the Catskills Food Guide: Buy an ad! Reach 20,000 readers upstate and in NYC, and support the Watershed Post. What's not to like?
Here's how the contest works:
Share photos of Catskills foods and/or farms by 11:59 p.m. on September 16, 2014. Points for photos that include luscious close-ups and bright colors. Humor and originality are always excellent, too.
To submit, your photo must:
- Be at least 2 megabytes (MB) in size
