Photo Contest

We live in a beautiful area of Illinois. I am hosting a photo contest online, #02ByYou, to highlight what makes our district so special. You can capture photos of our district’s scenery, personality, diversity, etc. It is up to you! What makes our district so great?
Constituents will be able to vote for their favorite photo by using Facebook “likes.” Photos can be sent to repkellycontest@gmail.com. The photo with the most likes on my Facebook page on September 16th will win the spot as my social media cover photo for the remainder of the year!

The #02ByYou competition begins August 15, 2016 at 9:00 a.m. CST and ends September 8, 2016 at 11:59 p.m. CST. Photo submissions are due to repkellycontest@gmail.com by August 25, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. CST. Photos will be published on Facebook on September 1st. Facebook “likes” received after September 8, 2016 at 11:59 p.m. CST will not be counted.

GUIDELINES
Any resident or visitor to the Second Congressional District of Illinois may submit up to two photos. All photos must be original and taken in the Second Congressional District (for a map, please visit http://robinkelly.house.gov/about/our-district). If the photo contains an image of a person, you must obtain that person’s permission to have the photo published. By entering this contest, you also agree that the photo may be published royalty free in any communication by my office. My office reserves the right to reject entries that are offensive, in poor taste, inappropriate for public display or do not meet eligibility criteria.
Higher-quality photos are strongly preferred. Ideal dimensions for Facebook cover photos: 828 pixels wide and 315 pixels tall.

In addition, contestants must obtain the consent and name of all individuals captured in the photograph and include a location, date taken and photo caption.

I hope you will consider entering a photo to showcase what makes our district so beautiful!
