August 1 – 9, 2026 – Putnam County Fair

The Putnam County Fair is just around the corner! The fair will continue at the old Putnam County Fairgrounds in Cookeville. This is a great opportunity to share your work with the community, earn ribbons, and represent the Cookeville Camera Club.

Entering Your Photography Prints

Follow these general steps:

  1. Review the Photography/Cultural Arts division rules in the Fair Book.
  2. Complete your online fair registration.
  3. Enter your photography category/class selections.
  4. Once registration is complete, print your entry barcode/label sheet.
  5. Attach the barcode label to the back of your mounted print as directed in the fair instructions.
  6. Deliver entries during the published drop-off period.

Helpful Reminders

• Read category descriptions carefully before entering
• Make sure print sizes and mounting meet fair requirements
• Double-check that your barcode is attached correctly
• Keep a copy of your registration confirmation
