Canon runs youth football contest

Amateur photographers have a chance to win a trip to the Super Bowl if their youth football snapshots are judged best in a contest sponsored by Lake Success-based Canon U.S.A.

The contest is called the "Why Do You Love Football? Photo Challenge." There are separate categories for teens, 13-17, and adults.

The imaging company's partners are the Pro Football Hall Of Fame and former National Football League quarterback Archie Manning.

The company says it's "looking for the best youth football photos from across America."

Photos will be judged in two categories — action and features — for each age group. The action category "focuses on any image that captures football action during game play." The feature category looks at "any football imagery outside of game action."

The winning photos will be displayed in the Pro Football Hall of Fame for a year.

Fans are invited to enter up to 10 of their best youth football photos from September 2, 2010, to December 1, 2010, by visiting www.usa.canon.com/nfl.
