Congressman Kilmer seeks photo for Facebook page

PORT ANGELES — U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer has announced a Facebook cover photo contest for residents of the 6th Congressional District.

All residents are encouraged to enter an original, high-quality photograph of the region for an opportunity for it to appear as the cover photo on the congressman’s Facebook page.

The deadline to submit photos is 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 6.

“Our region features some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, and I’m excited to give all of my constituents an opportunity to help me share it,” said Kilmer, a Democrat from Gig Harbor.

Kilmer represents the 6th Congressional District, which includes the North Olympic Peninsula.

For consideration, residents may submit a photo along with their name, photo location and a brief description to kilmer.photocontest@mail.house.gov.

All entrants must own the copyrights for their submission.

Kilmer will announce and post the photos of five finalists Monday, Sept. 9.

Fans of Kilmer’s Facebook page then will be able to select the winner of the contest by “liking” their favorite of the five finalists.

Voting will end at 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 12.

Photos must be original, high-quality and taken in Washington’s 6th District.
