Park View Annual Photo Calendar Contest
Each year, Park View invites members to showcase their photography skills by submitting their best landscape photos for a chance to be featured in our annual photo calendar. We look for images that capture breathtaking scenery, from local views to distant landscapes. From tranquil lakes to towering mountains and picturesque countrysides, we love highlighting the beauty captured by our members.
The grand prize winner, with the highest number of votes, will receive $50 and be featured on the calendar cover. Additionally, 12 winners will have their images displayed throughout the calendar. An honorable mention will be selected for each season.

Park View members may submit photos beginning at 12:00 am EST on August 1, 2024 and continuing until 11:59 pm EST on August 31, 2024.
After August 31, 2024, a panel of judges will carefully select the top 10 photos from each season—spring, summer, fall, and winter.
Following the selection, a public voting period will open for one week, allowing community members to vote for their favorite photos. The votes will determine the winning photos that will be featured in the calendar.
The top 3 photos in each seasonal category will be featured in the calendar, while the 4th place photo in each category will receive an honorable mention.
The calendar contest opens for submissions every year in August. Be sure to check back for a link and more information.
The winning photos will be featured in the Park View 2025 printed calendar. Park View may also post the winning photos to our social media pages, website, in our newsletter, as signage and more. Photographer attribution is important to us and will be given wherever possible.
