Russell Country Photo Contest a Great Opportunity to Take Your Best Shot.

The Russell Country Tourism office in Great Falls is expanding its photo collection and is searching for new photos to use in its publications and on its website.  Check out the details after the jump.

Gayle Fisher, Executive Director of Russell Country, says she is looking for photos of community events, recreational activities, landscapes, wildlife, and anything else you can think of that would give others an idea of what life in Montana is all about.

The Russell Country Tourism region covers 12 counties- Toole, Teton, Liberty, Pondera, Hill, Blaine, Chouteau, Fergus, Judith Basin, Meagher, Petroleum and Wheatland. Photos submitted must have been taken in one of these counties.

Photos should be submitted to Gayle in high resolution/large format, on a CD. If there are recognizable people in the photo, you must obtain a release from each of them. Mail CD's to: Russell Country, P.O.Box 3166, Great Falls MT 59403.  Deadline is Monday, April 11.

Photographers will be paid $50 for each photo chosen, and may be used for print and digital ads, publications and other promotional materials. If you have questions, call Gayle at 406-761-5036 during office hours.
