Each entrant may submit up to 5 photographs total. Upload high-resolution digital images, no larger than 32MB, and saved as .jpg files. Do not submit extreme panoramics, in which the width is more than twice the height. Do not include watermarks. Please name each file with your name and a number from 1 to 5 (i.e., JohnSmith1.jpg). Physical printouts are not required.

All photos must be taken in the Adirondack Park. Make sure the subject is in sharp focus and the horizon line is level. See our Photography Tips for more pointers or visit our Instagram page for examples of first-rate photographs. Categories may include People, Recreation, Landscape, Wildlife, Macro, Alternative Process and Black and White. Other creative categories are encouraged. There is no entry fee. Full-time professional photographers’ submissions will not be considered.
