The “Good For You!” page is a place for reader-submitted photos illustrating community, celebrations and more.

Want to submit a photo for publication? Here are some guidelines for submissions: – This page is dedicated to photos of people doing community-related activities here in the region or celebrating accomplishments and recognition of locals..

– Photos should be clear and in focus. We are unable to publish photos that are blurry – a good rule of thumb is if it’s blurry on your screen, it will only look worse in print.

– Photos should be recent. If you took the picture more than a month ago, it’s probably too old to publish. It should also be clear what’s happening in the photo. We should be able to see people’s faces and recognize them.

– Please email your photo to erin@ouraynews.com. In your email, include a description of what’s happening in the photo and please identify the people who are pictured. Dates, the name of the event and first and last names are a must. Please check to make sure names are spelled correctly.

– Submission of photos grants the Plaindealer the right to publish submitted photos. In submitting a photo for consideration, you are claiming to be the owner of the image. Please do not submit others’ photographs or work done by professional photographers – they retain the copyrights to their images.

Ridgway Elementary School fifth grader Seamus Scott explains his science experiment to a judge during the third annual Uncompahgre STEAM Fair at the Ouray County 4-H Event Center on Monday. Scott’s project focused on figuring out which seeds he could source from foods in his kitchen grew into plants the fastest.
The event brings together students from grades 3-12 from Ridgway, Ouray, Telluride, Norwood and West End school districts to showcase projects in science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics.
