There are a number of organizations that hold photography contests. If you’ve got pictures of sheep or goats you might want to consider this one.

Attention all photographers: There are only five weeks left to enter your pictures in the American Sheep Industry Association’s (ASI) 2005 Photo Contest. The contest is open to all who wish to enter, which means you don’t have to be involved in the U.S. sheep, lamb, and wool or goat industries to participate. The only rule is that your photograph must include sheep or goats. Entries must be postmarked by August 8, 2005. Entries will be judged on clarity, content, composition and appeal. A total of $1,000 will be awarded for the top photos in each of the four categories: action, scenic, people and sheep, and open category. New for this year’s photo contest, ASI will now be accepting high-resolution digital photographs.
