Attention shutterbugs!
The Dillsboro Public Library is having a photography contest. The event is free to enter and entrants need not be residents of Dillsboro to participate. However, only entries of subjects located within the Dillsboro area are eligible for the contest.
The Dillsboro Public Library has been selected to host a traveling Smithsonian exhibit, Crossroads: Change in Rural America, which highlights the changing landscape in rural America. Since 1900, the percentage of Americans living in rural areas dropped from 60 percent to 17 percent, yet the vast majority of America’s physical landscape remains rural. “Crossroads” looks at this societal change and how rural Americans responded.
The photographs should explore the past, present, and future of Dillsboro.
Entries will be on display at the Dillsboro Public Library after judging. A reception will be held on Saturday, September 7, at 6:00 p.m.
