Theme announcements will be posted each month online at www.smdailypress.com under the photo contest tab.

The theme for February's contest is “Snowy Days". Photos should portray snowy scenes, particularly those with people enjoying our area's winter wonderland whether its a snow sporting adventure, creating a frosty friend, making snow angels, sled riding or simply frolicking outdoors.

E-mail entries should include “photo contest” in the subject line and must be sent by the last Friday of the month.

Participants must also include the following information with their photos; their first and last name, their hometown, title of photo and identify anyone shown in it and the location of where the photo was taken.

Photos should be sent in JPEG format and no smaller than 4 inches in width.

In addition date stamps should be removed from the photo whenever possible.

Submissions will be posted online for public viewing. Daily Press staff will then choose the winning submission.

The winning photo will be published the first working day of the next month in The Daily Press as well as online.

Once submitted all photos become property of The Daily Press.
