It’s time for The Merrimack’s
2026 Community Photo Contest

Submit Photos Contest Rules

If you’ve taken a photo and it looks like a winner, enter it in The Merrimack’s 2026 Community Photo Contest. The winning photos will have a shot at taking center stage in our campaign, in the 2027 calendar, on our website and more. Each winner will also snag $100 per photo—and you can win for up to four photos!

Imagery Recommendations

Photos should showcase the unique character and beauty of the Merrimack Valley and greater New Hampshire. Capture a vista from your favorite walk, the atmosphere of a local shop, or the simple charm of your hometown. The Merrimack wants to see our communities—and the beautiful Granite State—through your unique lens!

Who Can Participate?

The contest is open to photographers of all levels—from amateurs who capture moments on their phones to photographers with all the pro gear. Judging is blind, so judges are not allowed to know who the entrants are or anything about them during the review process.

Customers, non-customers, and employees have won prior photo contests and are welcome to enter.

Submitting Your Photos

The contest runs from Wednesday, April 1, 2026 to Sunday, May 31, 2026. Entries must be received by 5pm on Sunday, May 31, 2026. Winners will be notified in early August.

There is a limit of 10 photos per person for submission to the calendar contest and 10 photos per person for the website contest.

Use the form below to enter your photos.
