Photo submitted by Michael R. Anderson for 2023 Photo Contest
Enter the Observer’s annual reader photo contest
The Island is a beautifully photogenic place, and its beauty can change by the season, the day and even the hour. As you walk, run, swim, mingle, boat and play, what scenes make you stop and stare?
The Washington Island Observer’s popular reader photo contest is ready for your best photos. Subscribers are invited to photograph and share what strikes them as beautiful, interesting and perhaps unique.
You need not be a professional or possess professional equipment to enter. An iPhone image capturing high resolution/large photos is acceptable.
To enter, you must be a Washington Island Observer subscriber. Categories are landscape, people and wildlife. You may submit as many as three photos in each category.
The photographs must have been taken on Washington, Plum, Detroit or Rock islands or on Lake Michigan near these islands between Aug. 1, 2023 and Aug. 1, 2024. There is no entry fee. Each photograph must be emailed to office@washingtonislandobserver.com by midnight Aug. 1, 2024. Only one photo per email.
Judges will select first, second, third and honorable mentions from the three categories.
Complete rules can be found at washingtonislandobserver.com/wp-content/uploads/Photo-Contest.
Copyright ownership of the images remains with the photographer, but by entering the contest, photographers agree to allow the Observer use of the photos for print and social media, with credit given to the photographer.
Winning photographs will be published in the Labor Day edition of the Observer.
