Rural Kansas Photography Contest – Entries Accepted Until Oct. 9
(Sept. 15, 2023) – Rural Health Education and Services - The University of Kansas Medical Center, is accepting entries for the Rural Kansas Photography Contest.
For more than a decade, amateur and professional photographers have helped Rural Health Education and Services showcase the beauty found in Kansas communities. These photos have led to the far corners of the state, highlighted unique landmarks, introduced new friends and neighbors and helped rediscover the beauty in our own backyards. Most importantly, they have helped promote the rich history and beauty of Kansas to our future health care providers.
