If you love taking photographs, this contest may be perfect for you!

One thing we’ve learned over the years, is that HCEC members love the calendars we pass out at each year’s Annual Meeting of Members. We wanted to make this year’s special, in celebration of our 85th anniversary, and the idea came to mind to feature members, taking pictures of our beloved area!
We have seen your incredible photographs shared on social media, so we know some amazing talent is out there!

Winners will receive a free copy of the calendar to enjoy, and bragging rights that their photographs are featured in the HCEC 85th Anniversary Calendar! These calendars will be available at the 85th Annual Meeting in October!
