House Minority Leader Tony McCombie is launching her sixth annual Spring Photo Contest for residents throughout her 89th Legislative District. The Leader encourages residents to get out their cameras, and submit compelling photographs they love of people, landscapes, or landmarks that showcase northwest Illinois.
“This contest has become a celebration of the place we’re all proud to call home,” said McCombie. “Each year I am amazed by the creativity and talent behind every submission, and I cannot wait to see how residents capture northwest Illinois this spring.”
To participate, interested area residents can submit a photo that best represents the people and places of the 89th District—including any statues and monuments. The winning photos will be displayed in Rep. McCombie’s Springfield and Savanna offices.
Rep. McCombie will choose winning entries and notify the photographers for an unveiling at the Savanna office. The winning photos will be on display for the rest of the 104th General Assembly in Springfield.
The contest rules are as follows:
- Participants are asked to submit their photos by email to [email protected]
- Photos must be taken in the 89th District
- Photos must be taken during this spring
- Photos are due ASAP and winners will be announced on June 19th
- Photos must be sent in high resolution
- In the email, please include the photographer’s name, home address, email, phone number, and where the photograph was taken
An 89th District map can be found on Rep. McCombie’s website at repmccombie.com. Participants seeking more info can call the district office at (815) 291-8989.
