This year's Dogwood Festival Amateur Photo Contest will be on display at the Orleans Christian Church Unity Hall for three days of the festival. The Unity Hall will be open for the display during the festival Thursday and Friday from 3-8 p.m. and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Deadline for entries will be April 26, and photos may be dropped off at the office of the Progress Examiner. They will be picked up from the Progress office in late afternoon. There will be four categories for entrants to choose from - people, animals, nature and miscellaneous. There will be no distinction given for black and white vs. color in these categories; and entrants will need to choose in which category they want their photo judged. All photos must be no smaller than a 5x7 and must be framed or matted. Due to the large size of the frames of last year's entries, photographers are asked not submit photos that are both framed and matted. This poses problems with displaying the photos. Entries should include the name and telephone number of the photographer, as well as the category of choice for judging. This can be done with a sticky note on the back of the frame or matte. Professional photographers should not enter; if a photo entered is deemed to have been taken by a professional, it will be for display only. Please limit entries to no more than 3 per person. Submissions should be limited to photographs taken by the entrants. You should not submit a photo unless you are the photographer. Out-of-town judges will rate the photos based on several attributes. First and second place will be given in each category, and the People's Choice award can be voted on at the display. The photo contest committee is entertaining ideas for changes to next year's photo contest, so direct all ideas to contest chair Destany Pingle. You can contact her at 865-4179 or by e-mail at

A brand new event has been added to the Orleans Dogwood Festival schedule. Dogwood Idol will be holding auditions on Saturday, April 17th from 8 a.m. - noon at the Orleans Elementary School gym. Dogwood Idol will focus on entertainment value. Ten finalists will be selected to compete on Monday, April 26th at 7:30 p.m. at the stage on Veteran's Way during the Dogwood Festival complete with celebrity judges. The auditions are open to participants of all ages from Orange and surrounding counties. Accompaniment music may be live or recorded and may be an original work or a previously recorded track but must be provided by the participant. Songs should be four minutes or less in length and not contain profane or offensive lyrics. Each contestant is asked to have a 30 second or less introduction. Event organizers are also searching for the best rendition of "Pants on the Ground" and one or two other "show stoppers" to make Dogwood Idol complete.
