GEORGIA Magazine, the largest-circulation
monthly magazine in the state, is published
by Georgia Electric Membership Corp.
(GEMC), the trade association for Georgia's
41 consumer-owned electric utilities. On
average, more than 540,000 members welcome
the magazine into their homes each month.
Georgia's not-for-profit electric cooperatives
provide reliable, safe and affordable electric
service to more than 73 percent of the state's
land area, serving 4.5 million residents. For
more information, visit www.georgiaemc.com.
Guess where this is and you could win a $25 gift card!
In "Picture this?" the reader whose photo of a Georgia place is published wins a $25 Target
gift card-as does the person who correctly guesses what the photo is and where it was taken. The
winner's name (drawn at random from correct guesses) and the answer will appear in a future issue.
The winning photo selected by our staff will be published in exchange for the gift card; Georgia EMC
claims no right in and will ultimately destroy or delete all photos that are not selected.
If you're ready to guess or have taken a photo for us to consider, email picturethis@georgiaemc.
com or mail to "Picture this?," P.O. Box 1707, Tucker, GA 30085. Submissions should be 300-dpi photos of locations that are accessible to the
public and easy to identify. Please send photos and guesses separately.
Guesses for the August contest must be received by Aug. 21, 2018.
With all correspondence, please include your name, mailing address
and phone number.
June 2018
Our winners from June 2018 are Tessica Searcy, of Thomaston,
who took the photo, and Carol and Leck Montgomery, of Metter, who
correctly guessed that it is a giant rooster outside a country store in
Albany.
