Top notch to begin

The Islander’s Top Notch contest begins anew.

The contest celebrates what still is known as the “Kodak moment,” despite the widespread switch from film to digital technology.

Look to July 7 for the first deadline, including your July 4 holiday photos.

The contest includes six weekly front-page winners. Each receives an Islander “More than a mullet wrapper” T-shirt.

One weekly will take the top prize in the Top Notch contest, earning the photographer a cash prize from The Islander and certificates from local merchants.

A pet photo winner is the final week.

The deadline is Friday each week.
