ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The annual Save the Bay Photo Contest invites photographers from all around the Chesapeake Bay watershed to submit extraordinary photos showcasing the beauty and resilience of the Bay, its rivers and streams, and the wildlife that call it home.
Whether you’re a professional or amateur photographer, we want to see how you see the watershed. What is it about the Bay’s rivers, streams, and wildlife that inspires you or makes you proud to call the Chesapeake Bay region home? Capture it and you could win a cash prize!
A panel of CBF employees will judge entries on subject matter, composition, focus, lighting, uniqueness, and impact to award First through Third Prizes. The public will then have the opportunity to vote online for their favorite photo in the Viewers’ Choice Gallery. All winners receive cash prizes!
• First Prize: $500
• Second Prize: $250
• Third Prize: $150
• Viewers’ Choice: $100
All winners also receive a one-year CBF membership, and their credited photos will be displayed in various CBF publications such as the website, Save the Bay magazine, emails, and social media. The photo awarded First Prize will be featured in CBF’s 2022 calendar.
So, don’t wait—review the official rules and guidelines and submit your best photo today or get out there and take the next great photo of our beloved Bay or its remarkable rivers and streams. Deadline to submit is April 2 at 5:00 p.m. EST.
