 Our mission is to develop a love for taking pictures, supplying tips for excellent photos, and showcasing our unique Town of Augusta.

What is unique in the Town of Augusta?  What type of perspective will enhance the view or a unique place in Town?  What comprises the “heart of Augusta”?

                  What catches your eye?  What’s new to you?  Is there something special in the Town?  Be creative in taking a shot of something ordinary.   

  • Take pictures in the town limits of Augusta.
  • Tell a story.

                     Shoot photos on an event, a view, a building, an animal/plant unique to Augusta, or something similar.  Composition quality is as important as is picture clarity.  One standout distinction for an excellent photograph is whether or not someone desires to take a second glance, or a third.                           The new year of 2023 reintroduces a Teen/Adult Contest and an All Ages Contest.  The popular, consistent entries in the KIDS’ “BEST OF AUGUSTA” PHOTO CONTEST will be moved to October.
