For this year’s photo contest, I’d like to introduce the theme of water. I’m looking for shots found naturally in nature: ponds, streams, lakes, waterfalls. Please DO NOT submit ocean shots with sunrises or sunsets as that is a whole category unto itself.
Bonus points if your shots include wildlife (no humans). If you’d like to submit your photos, here are the rules and prizes:
RULES
1. You must take the original photo
2. Please submit by May 1, 2021
3. Send attachment to: val@valsroad.com
4. Limit three photos per person
I will announce the winners by May 15, 2021.
PRIZES
First Place Prize (1): a $75 gift card to Amazon or REI and bragging rights to the cover photo on valsroad
Runner Up Prizes (3): a $15 Starbucks gift card and side photo on valsroad
Thanks for participating. Can’t wait to see your entries.
Here’s an example of a photo of wildlife in the water that doesn’t work. Without explanation, you have no idea what is happening. It’s an alligator surfacing out of the water. As tempting as it was to see if it would come completely out of the water, I chose to avoid possible death by keeping quite far away.
