2010 Green Mountain Alpaca Fall Spectacular
Photo Contest

We all have those special photos of our alpacas that we enjoy showing off
to friends and family… here’s your chance to show off your
photography skills and those special alpaca moments!
All attendees and alpaca owners are invited to participate in the 2010 Green Mountain Alpaca Fall Spectacular Photo Contest. Photos will be judged by our Show Photographer, Don Whipple of Whipple Studio, on creativity, composition, content and artistic merit.
