HARPERS FERRY, W. Va— The Appalachian Trail Conservancy is now accepting submissions for its “Zoom in to the Appalachian Trail” photo contest. This is a nationwide search for the best photos featuring close-up shots of the details that make up the Appalachian Trail.
Contestants will submit a photograph of a favorite feature along the trail that may include people, places, scenery or more.
The top three photographers will each win a one-year membership to the ATC and will be featured in A.T. Journeys, the official magazine of the ATC. The grand prize winner will also win a custom ATC-themed hammock, courtesy of ENO.
Photo submissions will be accepted through Tuesday, June 3 and can be uploaded on www.facebook.com/athike. The public will then vote for their favorite photos through Sunday, July 13. Winners will be announced the week of July 14.
