Calling all novice and professional photographers! ABS is once again hosting our annual photo contest.
All submissions may be used in ABS marketing materials and communications, such as websites, social media, brochures, etc. The contest begins May 20 and will be open through June 24. Please review the below details before entering.
Eligibility: ABS creates two calendars each year from this photo contest in each of the following categories: dairy and beef. The contest is open to residents of North America (US and Canada), including customers, ABS employees, and authorized independent representatives. Each participant may enter as many photos as they wish.
Judging: The ABS team will choose the top photos from each category (dairy and beef) to be used in our respective calendars. The top 12 photos for each category will be available on our Facebook pages for our friends, families, and customers to vote for the calendar cover photos!
- Photos will be posted on Facebook (@ABSglobal) for each category (dairy and beef).
- Participants may tag friends in comments on photos and share the photo to gain likes, but it is not required. Only likes on the original photo will be counted; likes on the main post or likes from shared posts will not be counted.
- Voting for each of the calendar covers on the ABS Facebook pages will take place July 8-15.
Prizes: The top 12 photos from each category (dairy and beef) will be included in the 2025 calendars and each winner will receive their own copy of the calendar. Winners of the top three photos in each of the two categories (as determined by the most votes) will receive ABS semen credits.
