We are very excited about this years photo contest and can’t wait to see all of your beautiful photos.

From people, places, and ways of life, Virginia’s Piedmont is a place like no other, and each of us has our own special view of it. We want to see your view of the Piedmont. Whether it be an image of Old Rag at dusk, a local farmer’s market or event, a portrait of your favorite Piedmont pet or person, or your very own backyard covered in winter’s first snow- send us your photos!

One grand-prize winner will be chosen from each of the five categories. Each grand prize winner will receive one $100 gift certificate to McClanahan’s Camera, to be used instore or online.
