Here’s the winning photo in the National Beef Ambassador “Farmers and Ranchers Care” Earth Day photo contest. It was taken by Kaylyn Groce of Silver City, N.C.
In order to participate, the first requirement was to become a fan of the National Beef Ambassadors on Facebook and upload a photo to that page showcasing how they, as beef producers, are involved in caring for the environment. To date, the Facebook page has more than 2,000 fans.
Voting took place by ‘liking’ the photos and the winners were determined by the number of ‘likes’. On Earth Day, the winners of the photo contest were announced.
In total, 83 photos were posted. The winning photo became the National Beef Ambassador’s Facebook profile picture for one week and was also featured in Beef Ambassador Malorie Bankhead’s blog post on Earth Day. The winner of the contest also received a $50 beef gift certificate; 2nd and 3rd place winners each received a $25 beef gift certificate and appeared in Malorie’s blog post on April 23.
The winners were: 1st: Kaylyn Groce of Silver City, N.C.; 2nd: Sunny Taylor of Kaycee, Wy.; and 3rd: Allison Boggs of Martin, S.D.
