The 2007 Al Thomas Memorial Photo Contest will again be sponsored by CFA Tent No. 41 and the CFA Public Relations Committee. The co-sponsored event in 2006 was an outstanding success with 107 entries entered into the contest. The contest has been held for 16 years in honor of CFA Member Al Thomas who was an expert photographer and enjoyed shooting pictures of circus activities. According to Daniel Rohrer, Tent 41 Vice President, “We are looking forward to another banner year for this contest. I hope that we can top the 107 entries entered in last year’s contest.” The photo contest is open to anyone who would like to enter. There is no limit on the number of photos that one may submit. Entries must be 5” x 7” color photos of a circus subject. The entries can be from any time period or event. Entries are due by August 31, 2007 and should be sent to: Edward W.

Ed Limbach, CFA Director of Public Relations and Media said that awards will be given for first, second and third place entries. In addition there will also be honorable mention awards given. Limbach said that he was hopeful that members of the youth circus community would submit entries in this year’s contest. The photo contest is an easy and fun way for CFA members and youth circus members to participate in the activities of the Association.
