CAMDEN, DE – Amateur photographers across Delaware now have the opportunity to showcase their skills through the Delaware Farm Bureau’s 2026 Annual Photo Contest, announced by the organization’s Promotion and Engagement Committee.
The competition welcomes photography enthusiasts of all skill levels and ages who want to document the state’s agricultural heritage through their camera lens.
Submission period runs from May 1 through October 31, 2026, giving photographers plenty of time to capture Delaware’s farming community in action.
Contest winners will be revealed at the Delaware Farm Bureau’s Annual Banquet in December 2026. The four top photographers will earn cash awards and see their work featured at both the Farm Bureau’s Camden headquarters and the Delaware Agriculture Museum in Dover. Six additional participants will be recognized with honorable mention certificates.
Delaware Farm Bureau President Bill Powers will also choose his personal favorite for the President’s Pick award, which comes with Farm Bureau merchandise for the winning photographer.
“We look forward to seeing how photographers capture the creativity, dedication, and tradition behind Delaware agriculture,” said P&E Member Casey Collier-Betts. “It’s always inspiring to see our industry through other perspectives.”
The Delaware Farm Bureau’s Promotion and Engagement Committee works alongside local farming families to build connections with consumers and neighbors while promoting agriculture as Delaware’s leading industry and providing educational opportunities for both farmers and the general public.
