Upcoming Events
December 1st 2010 - The 8th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest
The 8th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest is open to photographers ages 18 and over. Submitted photographs must have been taken within the past three years (since January 1, 2008). 

Digital photographs should be submitted at the highest resolution possible. 

Don't forget:
All entries must be uploaded by December 1, 2010 


Contestants can enter photographs in five categories--Altered Images, Americana, The Natural World, People and Travel--that represent subjects of special interest to the magazine. Fifty finalists will be selected, ten for each of the five categories. Smithsonian will notify the 50 finalists by February 28, 2011. From these 50 finalists, five category winners and a grand prize winner will be selected. The entries of all winners and finalists will be published on the magazine's Web site on March 1, 2011. At that time, readers can vote online for one readers' choice winner. The winning entries will be published in the print edition of Smithsonian magazine during summer 2011.

Category winners will be awarded $500. The readers' choice winner will be awarded $500. The grand prize winner will receive a Smithsonian Journeys Grand Canyon Weekend Adventure for two, or the wholesale cash equivalent.

On a weekly basis beginning April 4, Smithsonian judges will post the best of the incoming entries in the Editors' Picks portion of our Web site.
