The 2015 “Nature in Kingston Chase” Photo Contest Guidelines

Entries are category-specific, let us know which category you want your photo entered. (If you have a photo to enter and aren’t sure in which category to enter it, let us know and we’ll help you decide.)

The categories are Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, Anamalia, and Neighbors in Nature.

Young photographers(9 years and under), are encouraged to send photos for our Kid Photographer Showcase. We will publish one Kid Photographer photo a month, chosen at random, in The Crier.

Also, we’re including a special recognition for the best phone photo – so when you’re out and about in the neighborhood and you snap a photo with your phone - send it in!

Photos must be taken within Kingston Chase, the retention pond, or Folly Lick Stream Park environs.

Email photo entries to conservation@kchoa.org.

Winners and runners-up will have their photographs displayed in the clubhouse.
