Judging criteria: Image will be judged collectively with no single element being weighed over the other — and done so to the subjective tastes of the judging panel — but things to keep in mind:

  • Framing
  • Shot composition (subjects and relationship to each other within the image)
  • Lighting
  • The story being told in the image: is it just a pretty picture, or is there something bigger happening in the image?
  • Must be related, in some way, to agriculture and related industries

12 WINNERS

  1. 1 Grand Prize: $250 Visa Gift Card, photo used for cover and one month, copy of the calendar
  2. 11 Runners Up: Ag Express apparel/swag, photo used for one month, copy of the calendar

*Contest Rules and Disclaimer

The Ag Express Electronics photo-calendar contest entry period is June 15, 2023 through October 23, 2023 and is open to Ag Express Electronics customers, past or present who are residents of the United States or Canada (excluding Quebec). Eligible entrants must have done business with Ag Express Electronics prior to photo entry, must subscribe to Ag Express promotional emails (email opt-in is an option on the contest entry form webpage) and submit their ag-themed photographs via the contest entry form.

No other forms of submission (email, social media, messenger, text message, etc.) will be accepted or considered. No purchase or payment will increase the odds of winning. The odds of winning depend upon the total number of eligible entries received during the entry period. Entering this contest does not guarantee you any specific outcome, winnings or credit. The winning photographs will be selected by a judging panel based on their discretion and interests of the agriculture industry.

The definition of agriculture as focused on in this context is at the complete discretion of the judging panel, but includes everything from row crop and commodity farming, vegetable farming, fruit farming, dairy farming, other non-dairy farming, ranching, and all-related activities surrounding life and work on these farms.

All photos submitted are released to Ag Express Electronics to be used at the company's discretion in the 2024 calendar, in promotions around the contest and its winners, in promotions of future photo contests, and in related web pages and marketing materials in perpetuity without requiring consent from or compensation to the photographer and/or the person making the submission.

This promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Facebook, LinkedIN, Twitter, Instagram or any other photo-based platforms. You understand that you are providing your information to Ag Express Electronics and not to any of these platforms. By participating in this promotion, you agree to a complete release of any of these platforms from any claims.

All customers of Ag Express Electronics are eligible to enter with no new purchase required to enter. If a person makes a purchase of any product or service from Ag Express Electronics during the call for entries period, they would be eligible to enter the contest, but that purchase is in no way tied directly to the entry. Recency or volume of business conducted between the person submitting the image and AG Express Electronics will have no bearing on selection of winners.

Entrants agree to opt-in to marketing communications emails and communications for a period of time through, at least, the contest judging period. Standard opt-out options will be made available in every communication. All entrants not opted in to communications through the judging period will be disqualified.

Selection of winners is entirely subjective and at the discretion of the judging panel made up of Ag Express Electronics employees who bring their own background and experience to the contest.

A limit of five photograph entries and one winner per household.

All entrants hold the Sponsors and their respective regents, directors, officers, employees, associates, and volunteers harmless from and against all claims of any nature arising in connection with entrant’s participation in the contest and acceptance or use of a prize.

Entrants are solely responsible for their entries.

Entries that are off-topic, partisan-political, contain advertising, nudity, personal attacks or expletives, or is otherwise abusive, threatening, unlawful, harassing, discriminatory, libelous, obscene, false, sexually explicit, or that infringes on the rights of any third party will be discarded.

In the event of a dispute regarding the winners, Ag Express Electronics reserves the right to award or not award the prizes in its sole discretion. Ag Express Electronics reserves the right to disqualify any entrant whose entry or conduct appears in any way to: inhibit the enjoyment of others; tamper with the competition; violate these rules or other applicable law or regulation; infringe on the rights of third parties; or act in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner.
