DNREC’s Division of Fish & Wildlife seeking great shots from Delaware hunters for annual photo contest

Entries accepted through Jan. 31, with new digital submission option Fishing photo contest ending Oct. 31 

DOVER – DNREC’s Division of Fish & Wildlife invites hunters and outdoor photographers to enter the 2017/2018 Delaware Hunting Photo Contest. The winning photo will appear either on the cover or be featured inside the 2018/2019 Delaware Hunting & Trapping Guide.

New this year, for ease of entry in the contest, photographers will be able to submit their photos digitally at Fish & Wildlife photo contest. Photographers without the technology to upload their photos online may continue to submit their entries as prints. The hunting photo contest is accepting entries now through Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2018, from Delaware residents of any age, with a maximum of three entries per person.

A judging panel comprised of DNREC staff will be looking for technically-suitable photos that best portray this year’s contest theme, “A Day Afield,” by depicting hunters enjoying their time in the great outdoors. To be eligible, photographs must have been taken in Delaware and depict persons involved in lawful hunting activities.

Complete contest rules and information, entry forms and instructions for uploading entries can be found at Fish & Wildlife photo contest. For more information, please contact Jennifer Childears at 302-739-9910, or email jennifer.childears@delaware.gov. 

The current Fishing Photo Contest, with the theme “Catch a Memory,” is accepting photos until Tuesday, Oct. 31.
