Photo Contest

Who you calling an amateur photographer? Time to step it up and show the pros, not to mention naysayer uncle Joe, that your photos have game.

It’s the annual Martha’s Vineyard Magazine photo contest, a chance for professionals, almost pros, and even young Trudy (can you believe she’s 16 already?) to strut their stuff.

The deadline for entries is Friday, Dec. 31 before midnight. Photos must be shot on or around Martha’s Vineyard, they must be the original work of the person submitting them, and the photos cannot have been digitally altered (minor color correcting is acceptable). Photos also must not have been previously published.

Photos will be judged on an anonymous basis by a panel including professionals in photography and the arts, and Martha’s Vineyard Magazine staff. Prizes are awarded for the three best photos overall: $100 first prize, $50 second prize, and $25 third prize. Winning photographs to be announced and published in the May–June, 2012 magazine.
