Announcing: Usa National Parks And More Announces The State Parks Of The United States Contest.

The STATE PARKS of the UNITED STATES contest is up and running. Some really great images have already been entered but, unfortunately, I had to remove several images because they did not meet the prescribed guidelines for the contest. This contest is meant to highlight STATE PARKS ONLY and not National Parks, City Parks or Parks outside of the United States and US Territories. To clear things up here are the guidelines for this contest.

Guidelines:
1. Only one photographic image per member.

2. Photographs only. You may process your image, for example HDR or adding textures so long as the image retains the quality of a photograph. You may submit color or black and white as well.

3. No photographs with people, cars or trains unless they are incidental to and not the subject of the photograph. Absolutely no posed people with or without clothing. This is a contest honoring landscapes as the object of the photograph.

4. Please indicate where in the United States you shot the image. Specifically identify clearly the name of the STATE PARK, the nearest city or town to the image and make it accessible to me. I will remove any image from consideration if the identification is not made clear and accessible. Having the identification in the title, at or near the top of your description or at or near the top of your keywords are suggestions for making your identification clear and accessible.

You may go to the contest home page to enter your image into the competition
