All volunteers, members and friends of the Forest Society are encouraged to enter! Photos taken on any device are fine -- cell phones, tablets, slr cameras, whatever. Just make sure they're 1 MB or bigger 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!

The top three winners will be chosen in these categories:

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 awarded as follows:

First place winners in each of the five categories described above will win publication in Forest Notes plus four free passes to Lost River Gorge and Boulder Caves.

Second place winners in each of the five categories will win publication in Forest Notes and two free passes to Lost River Gorge and Boulder Caves.

Third place winners in each of the five categories will win publication in Forest Notes and a Forest Society hat.
