Grab your Camera! Northwest Exposure Photo Contest 2009

Hit the trail and grab your camera! It's time for Washington Trails Association's sixth annual Northwest Exposure Photo Contest.

Washington's wilderness landscapes are extremely photogenic. Here's your chance to show off your fantastic photos of hiking locations in Washington - and help WTA protect them.

Northwest Exposure draws attention to the beauty found on Washington's trails. Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place in five different categories and a grand prize winner will appear on the cover of the January/February 2009 issue of Washington Trails magazine. Prizes from Lowepro.

Photographers may submit only one photo in each of four categories: Wilderness Landscapes, Hikers in Action, Flora and Fauna and Offbeat Outdoors. Photographers 17 years of age or younger may also submit one photo in the Young Photographers category. The contest is open to all photographers, except for Washington Trails Association employees, contest judges and their families. Photographs must be taken in Washington.

Category descriptions, prizes, contest rules and online submission form can be found online at www.wta.org starting September 1. In the meantime, don't forget your camera when you hit the trail! All entries are due no later than Friday, October 17, 2008.
