Kane and McHenry photo contest

"Your work should be hanging in a gallery."

If that's the type of compliment you're used to hearing, we'd like to see your photos.

Our Snapshots Contest is open to amateur photographers of all ages in Kane and McHenry counties.

Photos will be judged by our staff photographers who will select three winners for publication each week. Once a month, a grand-prize winner will receive a prize from The Frame Shop in East Dundee.

To enter, send your photos in a digital JPEG format, sized at two megabytes if possible (minimum size 300 dpi), to foxcontest@dailyherald.com. Put "photo contest" in the subject line. Include your name, phone number and address. Please also include information about where the photo was taken and who or what was in the picture.

Photos received by 5 p.m. on Mondays will be considered for Saturday publication. Only one photo a week per photographer, but you can enter as many weeks as you'd like.
