Photo Contest Fundraiser
Looking at bird and nature photos is a fun way to spend some time socializing before dinner. We have some fine photographers in TAS. Bring no more than five (5) of your best photos to the annual dinner. We will put them on display and set a tip cup near each photo. People may vote for their favorite by putting cash in the cup. At the end of the evening, we will see which photo was the crowd favorite by counting the cash. Feel free to swing the voting toward your favorite with as many $$$ as you wish. This contest is for fun and for fundraising. Photographers will keep their photos and only gain bragging rights if they win the contest. All proceeds go to Topeka Audubon Society operating expenses.
Registration
The cost is $30 per person which includes dinner and the program. The cost is $10 for the program only. Make checks payable to: Topeka Audubon Society and send it to:
