Desert Foothills Land Trust seeks entries for Black Mountain photo contest

STAFF REPORT ~8/24/2011

Desert Foothills Land Trust is accepting entries for the 9th annual Black Mountain Photo Contest.
Black Mountain Conservancy, the original sponsor of the contest, merged with Desert Foothills Land Trust in 2009 and the Land Trust is continuing the event.
According to the DFL the photo contest is meant to encourage a deeper appreciation for this beloved landmark at the heart of the Desert Foothills communities. Photos can be taken any time, but should feature Black Mountain in some way.
Contest rules and entry forms will be available at the CVS Pharmacy at the corner of
Carefree Highway and Cave Creek Road, and at the CVS Pharmacy at The Summit
Shopping Center at Scottsdale and Ashler Hills roads.
Forms are also available on the Land Trust’s website at www.dflt.org. Photo contest entries will be accepted at the two CVS stores from Sept. 1 through Oct. 24.
Professional photographers Don Asakawa, Alan Lowy and Jerry Sieve will review all
entries and choose 13 winning photos. These selections will be announced to the media,
and these photos will then go on public display for viewing and voting for the “People’s
Choice Award.” The photos will be shown from Nov. 1 – 10 at Cave Creek Museum and from Nov. 11 – 13 at the Land Trust’s booth at the Cave Creek Bicycle Festival.
The photos will then move to the Desert Foothills Library on Nov. 14. Voting for the
People’s Choice Award will end on Nov. 18, but the display will remain at the
Library through early December.
