Digital files submissions should be at the file’s original resolution and accompanied by either 35mm slide duplicates or paper prints. Please clearly mark all materials (slides, disks, & photographs) with your name and address.
All entries should be of outdoor themes, both landscape and close-up shots are acceptable. Horizontal pictures are preferred to vertical (portrait). Vertical photographs will be considered, yet if selected will require cropping. Images with people as primary subject matter will not be considered.
