2015 Spring Photo Contest Week One
It’s time for another contest! This time we’ll run for six weeks, beginning today and ending April 16. The rules are the same as last time:
We’ll announce a new theme every Thursday, and all entries must be posted on our Facebook timeline before midnight (MST) the following Wednesday. The weekly winner will be announced the following Friday.
All entries should represent the theme as it pertains to life in the Western US.
Only three entries per week per photographer, please.
The contest is open to all photographers — professional, advanced hobbyist, or anyone with a smart phone. Employees of Rio Nuevo may enter, but may not win a prize.
The winner will be chosen each week by the editorial team at Rio Nuevo. Entries will be judged on photographic quality, depiction of the theme, and creativity. Each weekly winner will be eligible for the grand prize at the end of the contest.
All entries are also eligible for the people’s choice award, which will be given to the one photograph that garners the most Facebook likes during the contest.
All photographs must be the property of the entrant.
Weekly prizes will include books from the Rio Nuevo catalog. The grand prize and people’s choice winners will each receive a collection of books and a profile on the Southwest Living blog.
Prizes will be awarded at the discretion of Rio Nuevo, and have no cash value.
Rio Nuevo reserves the right to use entered photographs in social media for purposes of the contest. Any other use by Rio Nuevo will be negotiated with the entrant.
That’s all there is to it! We’re looking forward to seeing your creativity!
Week One Theme: Snow!
It seems like a grand statement of the obvious, but we’ve had some pretty spectacular snow days this winter in the West. Show us how it looked through your lens. Post your photos to our Facebook page before midnight next Wednesday, the 11th. We’ll announce the winner on Friday. And don’t forget to encourage your friends to enter their own photos and like yours. The more, the merrier! Good luck!
