Oregon Blue Book Cover Photo Contest - 2019-2020 Edition
SALEM,
OR – Today, Secretary of State Dennis Richardson is pleased to announce the
start of the 2019–2020 Oregon Blue Book Cover Photo Contest.
The
Oregon Blue Book, published biennially since 1911, is the official state
almanac. The Blue Book contains information, listings, and descriptions of
Oregon state government, educational institutions, media information,
cultural and arts organizations, and miscellaneous points of interest to
Oregonians and visitors alike. It also includes Oregon fun facts, maps, and
state and election history.
"The
Oregon Blue Book has been a state icon for over 100 years,” said Secretary of
State Dennis Richardson. “The Blue Book is filled with great information on
over 2,000 areas of interest that make up Oregon. It covers all things Oregon
from absentee voting to aviation, banking to butterflies, wages to
windsurfing, and much more. It’s just a great resource and a fun read with
breathtaking photos of Oregon.”
The
2019-2020 Blue Book theme is Celebrating Oregon’s local festivals, so photos of
carnivals, fiestas, county fairs, galas, and other celebrations throughout
Oregon would be the most appropriate entries.
