Calling all photographers – submit photos of South Carolina wildlife, birds, along with sporting and outdoor recreation (fishing, hunting, hiking, boating, camping, hunting dogs, etc.) and scenic landscapes.

South Carolina Wildlife’s 2016 annual outdoor photography competition is open to all South Carolina Wildlife magazine subscribers or family members interested in photography.

The magazine’s award-winning photography staff will serve as judges for the contest and winning prints will be displayed at the 2016 Palmetto Sportsmen’s Classic to be held March 18-20 at the State Fairgrounds, Ellison Building, in Columbia. There is no entry fee for the contest.

All photos must be taken in South Carolina. The deadline for submission is 5 p.m. Feb. 15. Photos may be either landscape or portrait orientation. However, if you want your photo to be considered for our Special Sportsman’s Calendar issue, it must be landscape/horizontal orientation.

File format should be .jpg or .JPEG and must be at least 2Mb. For full contest rules and to enter go to www.scwildlife.com/photocontest/rules.html.
