NEW PHOTO CONTEST

Win $300

and have your picture published in Oklahoma Living!

For several years now, Oklahoma Living has held a recipe contest to raise money for charity, but this year we decided it was time for something new.  Goodbye pie, hello blue sky... and green grass, scruffy pets, dimpled babies, flaming foliage, weathered old barns and anything else you want to send us.  There are NO THEMES OR CATEGORIES; we just want all your best Oklahoma photos.

One grand-prize winner will recieve $300 and publication in Oklahoma Living's December issue.  Twelve other winners will recieve $50 in travel vouchers to spend at Oklahoma's state parks and state-owned golf courses, and their photographs will be published in Oklahoma Living.  The winning photos will also be used to create a calendar, which will be sold through the magazine to raise money for this year's charity, the Oklahoma Spay Network.

This wouldn't be a fair contest without rules, so here they are:

Submitted photographs will NOT BE RETURNED, and winning images become property of Oklahoma Living for use in print and on our Web site.

Entries may be mailed as 8x10 prints or on a CD.  Digital entries must be high resolution.
