TRAVERSE CITY —
Grab your camera and head down to the 2011 National Cherry Festival for your chance to win a 10-person suite to a Beach Bums home game.
The Record-Eagle is holding its second annual Cherry Festival Reader Photo Contest. Submit your photo online, and you could be published in the daily newspaper. The best photo published during the festival, as picked by our editors, will win a 10-person Beach Bums suite for the Aug. 7 home game.
Photos must be of the 2011 festival, must not be retouched or altered, and must be of sufficient size to print. Entrants may submit multiple photos.
Because the Beach Bums suite is restricted to those age 21 and older, photographers must be 21 or older to win.
For complete requirements and to submit your photo, visit record-eagle.com/cherryfest.
