His family was from Maycomb County originally, his mother worked for a photographer in Meridian, had entered his picture in a Beautiful Child contest and won five.She gave the money to Dill, who went to the picture show twenty times on it.

“enter...in a contest” 是固定搭配，意为 报名参加比赛；将……投入竞赛，具体用法如下：

- 结构：

- enter sth. in a contest：把某物/某人（如作品、照片、选手等）提交参加比赛。

- enter (sb./oneself) in a contest：（为自己或他人）报名参赛。

1. She entered her painting in the school art contest.

（她把自己的画作送去参加学校美术比赛。）

2. His parents entered him in a piano competition at the age of five.

（他父母在他五岁时为他报名参加了钢琴比赛。）

“went to the picture show”：美式口语中“picture show”意为“电影”，相当于“movie”，体现地域语言特色。
