Posted on April 2, 2014 by Hillary T.

It’s one of our favorite times of the year! The 2014 Picture This Photo Contest has officially begun.

As in the past years, we’re looking for great shots taken in Massachusetts that celebrate the great outdoors: birds, mammals, and insects; landscapes; native plants, flowers, and fungi; and people enjoying nature of course!

The contest is open to everyone of all ages and abilities. Doesn’t matter if your using a smart phone, point-and-shoot, or SLR, we want to see your best shots. And this year, we’ve updated the entry process, making it easy to enter from any device.

The contest runs April 1 to September 30. Find everything you need to know about how and what to enter or get inspiration from the 2013 winners. And be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, where each month we will highlight some of the entries. Until then, happy snapping!
