Enter Department of Natural Resources Historic Photo Contest

Ring in the new year by entering a revamped historic preservation photo contest.

The annual contest, organized by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Historic Preservation & Archaeology, has been held since 2005 using a traditional print format to promote Indiana’s historic resources. While the purpose remains the same, this year the contest is moving to accept only digital submissions; printed photos will not be accepted.

As in previous years, all subjects of photos must be of resources that were built or designed (versus natural resources) that are at least 50-years-old and located in Indiana. Photos can be black and white or color and must have been taken within the last two years. Each photographer may enter up to three images. An entry form is required for each photo.

Images should be emailed to aborland@dnr.IN.gov and must be JPEG files that are 10mb or smaller. Participants will only be able to send one photo and one entry form per email. Please do not use screenshots of photos/entry forms, and do not use file sharing applications (like Google Docs). Participants will need to select one of five contest categories on the entry form in which to enter their photo: Color, Black & White, Kids (younger than age 18), Artistic, and Altered Image.

The entry deadline is April 3, 2020.
