Entries will be judged by a team of jurors selected by Sullivan County’s Parks & Recreation Department.

Photos will be judged on composition, focus, use of light, and the artistic presentation of the subject.

Standard editing is allowed (cropping, spot removal, straightening, sharpening, brightness and contrast). The resulting image should represent the subject as it appeared in nature when the photo was taken.

Submission does not guarantee entry. You will be notified in January 2025 of your entry’s status.

All accepted photographs will require final preparation, which will be done by the Sullivan County Parks and Recreation Department.

I have read and understand the entry and selection process. By signing at the end of this form, I am granting Sullivan County and its affiliates, the right to use my photograph for promotional purposes and agree to waive any fees or royalties that I might otherwise enjoy.
