All volunteers, members and friends of the Forest Society are encouraged to enter! Staff and their immediate families are not eligible. Photos taken on any device are fine -- cell phones, tablets, SLR cameras, whatever. Just make sure your photo files are 1 MB or larger so they'll reproduce well. This is a fun way to celebrate land conservation in New Hampshire, so don't be shy -- enter a few photos and who knows, you just might win!
Lovely Landscapes – your best shot highlighting the forest, fields, waters and mountains you find on any of our reservations or conservation easement properties.
Having Fun Outdoors -- people enjoying one of our reservations or conservation easement properties.
Flora and Fauna – wildlife, plants or other beautiful natural resources you encounter on our reservations or conservation easement properties.
Dog Heaven – dogs having their day on one of our reservations or conservation easement properties.
Young Shutterbugs – photos of any subject taken on our reservations or conservation easement properties by anyone under age 18.
The contest will be judged by a panel of Forest Society staff members based on both image quality and engaging subject matter. Prizes will be announced in spring 2019. Please check back for more details.
