When I think of August, I think of “firsts.”  Some readers may think of January when firsts are mentioned, but when August rolls around, there are many very special firsts.  Granted, most have to do with our kiddos, but they are so memorable!

There’s the first day of school.  Whether Pre-K or high school or college, they bring a tear to mom’s eye.  August also brings the first day of team practices.  Whether drill team, band, or sporting events, I was always thankful to be a girl when my brothers were enduring two-a-day football practices in August.

However, my favorite first is the first day of August–when the annual Postcards Photo Cover Contest begins!  If you’ve ever taken a picture you think is really great, NOW is the time to send it in.  

Our categories this year are:

Local Living • Nature • Animals • Seasons • People 

The Grand Prize winner and First Prize winner in each category will have their photo published on the cover of one of our editions in 2024 along with receiving other great prizes.  You can submit your entries and learn more on our website PostcardsLive.com/contests.

We look forward to seeing your entries!

Until next time,
