Home to Roost Helping city folks raise chickens!

Enter an original photograph or digital art work to win a $10 gift card from Belmont Feed and Seed and the opportunity to have your photo or art featured on the cover of a 2013 Chicago Chicken Enthusiasts Resource Guide!

The Chicago Chicken Enthusiasts is sponsoring a contest to find the best photographs or original artwork to be featured on the cover of its upcoming 2013 Chicago Chickens resource guide.  The theme for the contest is “Chickens in Chicago”.

Anyone can enter. Join the Chicago Chicken Enthusiasts Google Group and post a photograph or digital image of an original work of art as a reply to the thread “[chickens] Official CCE Photo/Art Contest.” The image should be high resolution and suitable for printing.

Judging will be done by a committee of CCE volunteers in February of 2013.  Images of excellent quality that depict the theme of the contest will be given the best score.  Popularity among CCE forum participants will also be taken into consideration.  The winner will be announced on this forum and the prize will be mailed to the winner after judging is complete.

The Resource Guide will serve as a description of raising chickens and other poultry in the city, as part of our outreach to policy makers and the wider public. It is anticipated that this booklet will be published in May of 2013.  Stay tuned for updates!
