The “Emanuel in Pictures” photo contest winner is Wanda Scarboro of Swainsboro and she will receive $25.00 for her winning entry.  “While showing off this gorgeous old Emanuel County home, Mrs. Scarboro’s interpretation of ‘Spring Time in Emanuel County’ was depicted beautifully in her photo entry,” stated Shanna Taylor, photo contest chair.  The Swainsboro/Emanuel County Chamber of Commerce sponsored the photo contest in an effort to document all Emanuel County has to offer for the Georgia Film, Music & Digital Entertainment Camera Ready program.

            “We would like to extend our appreciation to all the participants in the photo contest.  It is our hope that with our growing archive of photographs, we will be able to get the attention of Film Companies and be selected for a motion picture or documentary,” stated Bill Rogers Jr.  Emanuel County was designated as camera-ready by the Georgia Film, Music and Digital Entertainment office in a special ceremony in Atlanta on October 7, 2010.  Georgia’s film and television industry is thriving with Georgia being ranked number one in the Southeast, and among the top five states in the nation for film and TV productions.
