National Historic Landmarks Photo Contest 2013

The National Park Service is running its 14th Annual National Historic Landmarks Photo Contest and will be accepting photo submission through July 9th 2013. There are more than 2,500 landmark places, objects or districts across the United States so there is a lot to photograph.

Each photographer can enter up to 10 photographs, but each must be of a different historic landmark. So if you enter ten photos you must visit ten National Historic Landmarks and submit one photo for each one. Each submission should include a comment by the photographer about the personal significance of the image.  

You can read more details about the contest at the National Park Service's website. You can also view a screencast that provides a clear description about how to enter images. All entries are submitted to Flickr and you can view some of the early entries here. If you're not sure where landmarks are in your state you can view the list in PDF format here. For instance, there are 271 landmarks in New York State that cover the state from Niagara Falls to Montauk. 


The weather in the North East is starting to get better and it's time to break out the camera and make this contest your photo self-assignment for the spring.
