Calling all GAAR photographers - we're holding our 2nd Annual New Mexico Photo Contest.

This year's theme will be "around town." The Grand Prize Winner will have their photograph blown-up and featured - along with their credit - in the GAAR Open Door Internet Cafe. The two runners up will have their photograph printed on canvas to be displayed in the Internet Cafe.

The winning photo and the runners up will also be featured on the GAAR website and announced through our blog and social media. We will also upload all photos to a gallery for your fellow members to enjoy.

Rules

The rules are simple. The photo has to be be taken "around town" in New Mexico. You must own the rights to any photos that are submitted. You can enter as many photos as you like.

Please note: If you choose to include people in your submission, you are responsible for obtaining the necessary releases from the individuals depicted. Likewise, if you shoot private property (and this includes dogs, cats, mountains, and sculptures among other subjects) you are responsible for obtaining the necessary releases from property owners. You must be able to provide copies of these releases to GAAR upon request. If you need a sample release form, please e-mail darcie@gaar.com.

To enter, submit your photograph and completed entry form (click to download) to Darcie Castleberry by e-mail at darcie@gaar.com.

Deadlines
