Winning photos depict life in New Hampshire. These images include community events, such as parades, fairs, festivals and local sporting events; local landmarks; scenic beauty; seasonal pastimes, such as fishing, ice fishing, sailing, hiking, skiing and boating; and interesting artwork.
Judging is blind so evaluators have no idea who the entrants are – or anything about them – during the review process, and artists can submit as many as 10 photos.
Timeline
- The contest launches each spring. Follow our social media and website for announcements of submission dates.
