The Alpha Nominated Photo Competition was established by Jersey New Zealand in conjunction with Alpha Nominated (LIC) with the intention that through this competition, both organisations would benefit from using submitted photos for promotional purposes.
Over the years that the competition has run, several of the photos submitted by Jersey New Zealand members have featured in a variety of promotional publications and websites.
 
For example:
• Alpha Nominated catalogue
• Jersey New Zealand website
• Jersey Genes catalogue
• Jersey Review
• Promotional advertising nationwide
Interested overseas contacts have also requested ‘typical New Zealand shots’ which we have selected from entries received.
With the electronic photo library of Jersey New Zealand currently holding in excess of 800 photos, we don’t have to look too far for promotional material!

The Alpha Nominated Photo Competition is an excellent opportunity to promote your own animals and to create a valuable resource to promote and advertise your stud.

The classes will be divided into the following:
• Class A Haltered 2 & 3 year inmilk
• Class B Haltered 4yr & older inmilk
• Class C Unhaltered all ages inmilk*
• Class D Jersey Scene class
• Class E Junior member class

* Criteria for unhaltered class:
1. Inmilk animal of any age
2. The cow should be presented clean and groomed
3. Photo taken while the cow is stationary
4. Any cows entered in the haltered classes cannot be entered in the unhaltered class.

Product prizes are sponsored by Alpha Nominated and for each class are as follows:
• Classes A - C 1st = $250, 2nd = $150, 3rd = $100
• Class D 1st = $300, 2nd = $200, 3rd = $100
• Class E (book vouchers) 1st = $50, 2nd = $30, 3rd = $20

We look forward to seeing the entries for this year’s competition and would like to remind you that entries close Wednesday 31st March 2010.
