State Seeks Photos for
Bicentennial Book
Amateur and professional
photographers across Indiana are invited
to submit their favorite images of the state
for possible inclusion in a coffee table
book commemorating Indiana’s 200 years
of statehood.
Photos must be taken in Indiana and
should reflect one or more of these
categories: natural environment and
landscape; buildings and architecture;
cities and towns; farms and fields; the
Hoosier people; schools and libraries;
transportation; business and commerce;
medicine and health; religion and
philanthropy; government; media and
communication; arts, culture and
entertainment; and sports.
Images must be uploaded in .jpg/.jpeg
format with quality resolution (300 dpi).
Use of photos will not be compensated,
but photographers will receive a photo
credit in the book. Photos will be reviewed
and selected based on content, quality
and space availability.
For more guidelines and information
– and to upload photos – go to
default/indiana200photos.
“Indiana at 200: A Celebration of
the Hoosier State” will contain
approximately 240 pages and will be
published by M.T. Publishing Company,
Inc., which is under contract with the
Indiana Bicentennial Commission. In
addition to photos, each of the book’s 14
chapters contains essays and vignettes
from Hoosiers around the state. Books are
expected to be available for purchase
around Statehood Day, December 11 of
this year, and may be pre-ordered at
“This commemorative book is a
signature project for the Bicentennial
Commission and a legacy for the State of
Indiana,” says Perry Hammock, the
commission’s executive director. “Four of
our commission members – James
Madison, Judge Sarah Evans Barker, Tony
George and Mickey Maurer – have
worked diligently to bring this project into
being. We are proud to work with Indiana
authors and an Indiana publisher.”
