The Effingham Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) invites you to participate in our Destination Effingham Photo Contest in celebration of National Travel & Tourism Week in May.

The CVB is looking for color photos that answer the question, "What makes Effingham a travel destination to you?"

Examples of categories include nature and recreation, festivals and events, arts and culture, buildings and landscapes, seasons and downtown Effingham. All photos must be taken in Effingham County within the past year.

The winner will be randomly drawn on May 8, 2015 at noon, during National Travel & Tourism Week. The winner will receive 4 Action Splash Passes to Knights Action Park in Springfield, IL, along with a $100 VISA gift card. All photographs received will be eligible to be used in the Effingham CVB's visitor guide and social media platforms, with photo credit.

The Destination Effingham Photo Contest is open to anyone over the age of 14 and not considered a professional photographer. Each individual is allowed to submit up to five photographs, but will only be entered into the random drawing one time. Submissions will be accepted now through May 1st at midnight.

Photos may be submitted via email at visit-us@effinghamil.com
