Grafton County 4-H Wildside Outdoor Photography Scavenger Hunt

Photography Patch
Our 4-H friends in Carroll County have invited us to participate in the “4-H Wildside Outdoor Photography Scavenger Hunt”.  4-H Wildside challenges youth to get outdoors this October 2020, take some creative fall photos, and learn some new skills.

How it Works

This contest is open to all Grafton County 4-H youth, ages 5 to 18.
 
Grab your jacket and camera and head outside for a photography scavenger hunt and take photos of a variety of things.  To find items on the list, you could go on a hike, bike ride, or a leisurely walk in the woods.  
 
You have the entire month of October to find and snap a photo of as many of the Scavenger Hunt List items as possible.  You can take photos with any tool you have available to you (phone, digital camera, instant, traditional film, etc.).  If you do not have access to a camera, a loaner can be sent to you.
 
If you submit at least 10 of your photos by October 31, your name will be entered into a drawing; one person will win a prize.  All participants will receive a 4-H Wildside Photography patch.
