Winter, Summer, Spring or Fall . . . we want to see them all!

We’re looking for those hidden away people and places to help us showcase North Dakota’s water treasures. Take a picture suitable for the magazine’s front cover. It could be taken in
your backyard, at the neighborhood playground, by the creek, behind the farm house, or near your favorite fishing hole – in any season.

Be creative! If you “Discover our Cover,” you win!

Photography Contest Rules:

Entries will be judged on suitability for publication on the front cover, appropriate representation of North Dakota’s water, and photographic creativity and quality.

Photographs must have been taken in North Dakota and water must appear in some form (i.e., snow, rain, ice, lake, river, etc.) in the photograph. Digital photos preferred and must be at least 300 DPI at 9 x 12 inches, vertical orientation. Photographs not meeting these specifications will be disqualified.

E-mail digital photos to editor@ndwater.net.
