Deadline is August 31!
The 2014 Picture Wild Montana photo contest is open, and the photos are pouring in. Submissions will only be accepted for two weeks, so don't miss your chance to compete for prizes totaling more than $1,000! Show the world what you love about Montana's special wild places.
The theme for the contest, Picture Wild Montana, has seven categories for contestants to compete: Northwest Montana Region, Western Montana Region, Southwestern Montana Region, North-Central Montana Region, Central Montana Region, South-Central Montana Region and Eastern Montana Region. (see detailed category description at the end of this article).
Three prizes will be awarded in each category: one for winner based on judging, one for winner based on popular vote, and one for the winner competing within the kindergarten through eighth grade age group. There will also be three grand prize winners decided in the same way from all photos submitted to the contest, regardless of category.
In addition to prizes, winning photos may also be selected to be published in the MWA 2015 calendar and/or other various MWA publications such as Wilderness Walks books, annual reports and newsletters.
You can submit your work at wildmontana.org now during the two-week open submission period from Aug. 15-31, 2014. After the submission period has ended, qualifying photos will be displayed at wildmontana.org, voting will be enabled, and the public will be able to cast their vote for their favorite photos and determine winners by popular vote. This will be a chance for contestants to use social media, like Facebook and Twitter, to rally supporters of their photos to wildmontana.org to vote for their work. Online voting will close at midnight on Sept. 15, 2014. During this same period, qualifying photos will also be judged by a panel of judges who will determine their selections for category and grand prize winners. Winners will be notified on or near Sept. 17, 2014.

Eastern Montana Region
Eastern Wildlands Chapter Area
Eastern Montana ranges from vast unbroken grasslands to island mountain ranges, large buttes and badlands, wetlands and prairie potholes, river valleys and ephemeral creeks. Home to the endangered Black-footed Ferret, Eastern Montana creates a perfect sanctuary for wildlife to thrive in places like the Pryor Mountains. From caves found deep with the Big Snowy Mountains to the unique rock formations of the Terry Badlands.
