Not Much Competition…Yet

June 5, 2008 | Tags:

Moon over Murphy Dome, Fairbanks

We hand out prizes quarterly in our Fairbanks and Interior Alaska Photo Contest. After wrapping up the voting for January through April, we were expecting a cascade of new shots for the May through August round. To our surprise there have only been a few photos submitted as of today. This gives aspiring photographers the opportunity to leap into the competition-void with an astonishing and breathtaking series of up to five master works (cheesiness and over-dramatization intended). Or…you could just upload a couple of cool shots from your trip and see how they rate during the voting at the end of August.

The above is one of our latest entries. If you want to join us, we would be happy to have you. Just read all the details on the Photo Contest entry page - sign up - then upload your favorites. We’ll let you know in a couple of months whether or not you’re a winner. Thanks for participating!
