Photos fitting into any of the contest categories will be eligible provided that they were taken in a county that encompass the Texas Forest Trail Region, Texas Hill County Region, Texas Lakes Trail and the Texas Independence Trail Region in Texas.
Yes, any photographer is eligible to enter the contest as long as the photo was taken in Texas.
A panel of Texans will evaluate each entry for creativity, wow factor, and theme related composure.
You will be able to enter up to five (5) photos per category, provided that none of them were entered in a previous year’s edition of the contest. That means you can enter a total of 60 photos – so get that camera out!
This year, we will be running our contest from September 18, 2024 through October 18, 2024.
Photos must be submitted in .jpg format. Large format photos (original size) are requested as they provide better clarity and resolution of the photo.
The winners will be announced once the contest closes. Check back on texheritage.com for updates on the contest.
