I entered my first Contest and placed well! One of my photography instructors had been encouraging us to enter the TN Valley Fair Competition and I had a friend that pushed me into doing it as well. I don't know why I held back. I think I was really afraid of feeling that if I didn't win it would mean they really weren't very good. I waited until the very last day to enter. All in all, it ended up being a very positive experience. I learned how to follow the rules in sizing and mounting my photos - I had never mounted anything before.
It was very intimidating when I dropped them off at the Fair Grounds. I could not believe all the photos; there must have been a thousand of them! The girl in front of me - hers were very good! I decided I would be happy if just some of mine were even displayed or if just one might get an honorable mention or something.
We could enter up to eight and I so I did. Three won ribbons; a first, second and fourth places! I am thrilled. Here are my winners and the categories in which they won. I am so proud... not going to be fit to live with for awhile!
1st Place Black and White / Plant or Man Made Objects
2nd Place Color / Motion or Action
4th Place - Black and White / Architecture

I'm so proud for you. First contest and you placed 3 times. It just shows what you can do when you set your mind to it.
