GARNA’s 2018 Photo Contest Fundraiser

August 13, 2018 - September 7, 2018

Summer Tableau by William Helms

We’re seeking your best PHOTOS from the Upper Arkansas Valley region for GARNA’s 5th annual PHOTO CONTEST & FUNDRAISER

WHEN: GARNA’s 5th Annual Photo Contest begins August 14, 2018, and ends September 7, 2018, at 5:00 PM. By submitting an entry, each contestant agrees to the rules of the contest.*

Who may enter: GARNA Members and non-members are encouraged to participate. The entrance pricing reflects GARNA’s desire to encourage membership but does not provide GARNA members an advantage in winning. GARNA welcomes all photographers to submit photos of the upper Arkansas River Valley, especially those who are new to photography.  GARNA will award a “Novice” winner in each of the categories. Photographers who have not received a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place award in previous GARNA Photo Contests may  register as a “Novice”.

 

What to enter: Photo subjects must be from the Upper Arkansas Valley area only – from Leadville to Canon City.

The following are the 2018 six contest categories:

  1.     Mountainscapes: Scenes of our local mountain ranges that surround the Upper Arkansas River Valley
  2.     Winterscapes/Holiday: Native winter scenes and unique holiday imagery of our area
  3.     BIRDS: Native resident species or migratory birds that fly through the Upper Arkansas River Valley area
  4.     Wildflowers: Native species of wildflowers in their natural setting
  5.     River/Riverscapes: Arkansas River or mountain creeks
  6.     WILDLIFE: Any native species from elk to snakes, and pikas to butterflies

Submissions will be judged by an expert panel of professional photographers who will select a winner in each of the 6 categories. Winning photos will best communicate the beauty, grandeur, delight and special quality of the Upper Arkansas Valley. A People’s Choice winner will also be selected from the top 7 photos in each category. The top 7 photos in each category will be posted on the GARNA website and on GARNA’s Facebook page to facilitate the People’s Choice Award voting.
