Rep. Huffman Announces District Landscape Photography Competition

July 06, 2016

WASHINGTON­—Congressman Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael) announced that he will hold a district-wide landscape photography competition starting Wednesday, July 6th. Constituents who live in California’s second congressional district should email their original landscape photograph to rephuffmanphotocontest@gmail.com and include their name, hometown, and the location of the photo in the body of the email with “photo submission” as the subject of the email. Submissions will be accepted until Wednesday, July 20, 2016.

“This photography competition will showcase what is without a doubt the most beautiful Congressional District in the nation,” Congressman Huffman said. “I look forward to seeing what Northern Californians submit, from the Golden Gate Bridge standing sentinel at the San Francisco Bay to the remote beauty of the Lost Coast, to the ancient Redwood forests.”

During the contest, submissions will be posted in real time and constituents will vote on photos by "liking them" on Facebook.com/RepHuffman and instagram.com/rephuffman/. The two winning photographs, as determined by most likes combined between Instagram and Facebook, will be announced on Thursday, July 21th. Each photograph will be published as Congressman Huffman’s official Twitter header photo, Facebook cover photo, and Instagram profile photo for one month a piece. 

Authors will retain copyright. By submitting a photo, authors are giving the office of Congressman Huffman permission to use said photo on the official Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Website.
