OutdoorsNW 2015 Dog Photo Contest
We want your dog photos in the pages of our 2015 July/August Hiking edition.
Submit your photos by midnight, June 1, 2015, of those awesome (and in focus!) shots of your pooch doing something cool outdoors!
Sorry, but we will not be accepting “cute mug” shots of dogs, nor will we accept photos of dogs inside anything other than a tent or a car. All photos must be of dogs in action outside.
Humans allowed in the photo too, but they must be in action as well.
One per day per dog per photographer. The prize is seeing your pooch in print.
No downloadable links please.
Note: Photos submitted will be used on Social Media.
