Tri-Valley Conservancy has brought back its popular photography competition, rebranding it as “Views in the Valley” after a hiatus in recent years.
The competition, formerly known as “Freeze Frame”, encourages professional and amateur photographers pre-teen and older to demonstrate the best examples of how they “capture and share the beauty and diversity of life in the Tri-Valley,” according to the nonprofit. Submissions are being accepted now through Aug. 1.
“Categories include all types of agriculture and ranching, scenic rural locales in Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, Sunol and Danville, as well as recreational uses and activities in parks and recreational areas within these locales,” TVC officials said. “Photographers can also capture wildlife and nature scenes that reflect the true beauty of the Tri-Valley.”
Adult competitors will have to pay entry fees while youth entries (sixth to 12th grade) are free, according to the nonprofit. Top prizes will include $250 for the adult category and $100 for the youth category.
After the submission deadline 5 p.m. Aug. 1, finalists will be notified via email one week later and asked to turn in a mounted print version of the photo for judging — which will take place from Aug. 26-29. A People’s Choice Award will also be held via online voting.
All winners are set to be announced on Sept. 17. For more information or to upload submissions, visit trivalleyconservancy.org.
