Photo contest

ATMS Photo Contest

Our photo contest is open to anyone who has photos of places, people, etc. along the Appalachian Trail. The photos can be from any year, in fact older (historic) photos are most welcome. Keep in mind that we prefer they be submitted in digital form, however if you have a great print we will provide a snail-mail address to send those in as well. We are trying to keep the rules simple. One rule is that the best photos, in order to be printed in our publication, will need to be available as 300dpi images at the size printed.in the brochure. For the cover shot, that means roughly 3.5 x 8.5 inches or larger if it needs to be cropped. Many of the interior shots will not need to be that large. Since most people don't deal with digital image sizes and may not understand them, don't hesitate to submit your photos even though you don't understand. We will help you out if your photo is selected. Digital photos taken at the lowest setting may or may not work and will be determined by the judges.

Initially, submitted photos should not be any larger than one megabyte. After review, you will be contacted if a larger size is needed. Entries may be used in the next reprint of our brochure, website or other publications in the future as needed. Submitting your photos gives us the right to use them in those publications. All entries will be entered into the ATM collection for future historians to view. Your name will be identified as the photographer in any publications the image is included in.

At this time we do not have a deadline, but we expect that the next printing will probably be by the beginning of the year 2008.
