Ferrell Hospital recently issued the following announcement.

Ferrell Hospital is expanding the Carmi Family Medicine Clinic to better meet the needs of White County residents. We want the art in our new clinic to reflect the people, places, events and overall beauty of White County and southeastern Illinois. Whether you are professionally trained or just a youth or adult who enjoys taking photographs on your phone – we want to see your work!

Photo entries will be accepted in the categories outlined below. Youth (17 and under) and adult entries will be reviewed separately. The selection committee will choose a minimum of 20 photographs for display in the clinic. Selected photos will be printed in a variety of sizes, so entrants are encouraged to use the highest possible resolution when taking photographs. Images taken at low resolution may be disqualified at the discretion of the Ferrell Hospital selection committee, as smaller files may not be clear when printed at large sizes. Please use, and submit with your entry, our Photo Release Form for any photos that include people.

How to enter:

Please submit photographs and requested information online on the form below. You may submit up to 3 photographs per category for a contest total of 15 submissions. In order to be displayed online without being stretched or distorted, photographs must be submitted in .jpeg, .jpg or .gif format, at least 3,000 pixels wide (4,000 pixels preferred), and no larger than 10 MB. You must complete a separate form for each photo submitted.

We do not accept photographs submitted through the mail and do not accept more than one contestant per e-mail address. High-quality scans of non-digital photographs are acceptable. Digital photographs should be taken at the highest resolution possible.

You retain your rights to your photograph; however, by entering the contest, you grant Ferrell Hospital a royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive license to publicly display, reproduce and create derivative works of the entries for Ferrell’s purpose, including, but not limited to, advertising and exhibition. Any photograph reproduced will include a photographer credit as feasible. Ferrell Hospital will not be required to seek any additional approval in connection with such uses.

Entry deadline:

All entries must be received through FerrellHosp.com by 11:00 PM Central Standard Time on June 30, 2018.

Judging:

Photo entries will be judged based on creativity, quality, originality and overall impact. Notification to entrants will be made via the contact information provided at the time of entry. Selected photographs will appear on the Ferrell Hospital website and social media pages mid July.

Naming Your Photo File:

Make sure to include the entrants name as part of the file name, see example 

• If entrant name is: Joe Smith
