Winning phtos
Some outstanding photography can be seen at
the Texas EMS Conference-the display of all the
EMS photo contest entriesMore than 100 photos were a
big attraction to the nearly
3,000 people who visited the exhibit
hall at the Texas EMS Conference.
EMS people gathered around to see
what other EMS people are doing in
their jobs-and to look for friends and
coworkers in the photos. Entries come
from every area of Texas-sometimes
entries even come from other states.
Photographers enter photos of
emergency scenes, rescue scenes, edu-
cational settings
and community
events. EMS, fire-
fighters and law
enforcement are
shown in action.
Photos of the elder-
ly, children and
even pets being
rescued come in,
along with many
more EMS situa-
tions.
Winning pho-
tographers receive
money, plaques or
ribbons. They also
get the chance to
see their photos
used in Texas EMS
Magazine, EMS bro-
chures, posters,
displays and pre-
sentations. Wehave used many photo contest entries
on the cover of Texas EMS Magazine.
Photos are used to make the EMS
materials produced by the Bureau of
Emergency Management more inter-
esting and educational. Articles about
emergency or nonemergency situa-
tions are made more interesting with
photos showing how EMS personnel
do their jobs.
The judging is done by all Texas
EMS Conference attendees. The rules
state that the guidelines used to select
winning photographs are based on
artistic composition, originality, visual
appeal and good patient care. Six
photographs win.
The cover photo of this issue was
entered in the 1997 photo contest by
Sharon McIver, from Kerrville, Texas,
and was chosen as the grand prize
winner from all categories.
Photo entries can be in black and
white or in color. We keep the stan-
dard sizes of 8x10 or 5x7 so they will
be easier to display.
The entry form is on the next
page-remember to keep your cam-
era loaded with film and be ready for
the 1998 photo contest. The deadline
for the contest is November 1. All
photos will be displayed at this year's
conference and winners will be an-
nounced during the conference. The
photo contest rules are on the next
