Announcing the 2013 Catskills Outdoor Guide Photo Contest

The contest is now closed. Winners will be announced on May 28, 2013. Thanks! 

To celebrate the 2013 Catskills Outdoor Guide that we'll be releasing in May, we're hosting a 2013 edition of our "Catskills Outdoor Experience" photo contest, once again sponsored by the Peekamoose Restaurant & Tap Room in Big Indian. Winners will be featured in the 2013 Outdoor Guide, and one grand prize winner gets a dinner for two at the Peekamoose! 

Here's how the contest works: 

Share photos of your favorite Catskills outdoor experience. Points for photos that include people and/or animals, bright colors, and outdoor activities -- and especially combinations of all three! Humor and originality are always excellent, too.  

You can submit entries by posting a photo on the Central Catskills Great Outdoor Experience Facebook page, by emailing your photo to Julia Reischel at julia.reischel@watershedpost.com, or by posting your entry to the 2013 Catskills Outdoor Guide Photo Contest Flickr group. If you submit via email, please make sure to label your submission "Outdoor Guide Photo Contest." 

Submit your photo before midnight on Tuesday, April 30, 2013. Only one entry is allowed per person.

A jury will choose winners by Memorial Day, 2013. A selection of winners will be featured in the 2013 edition of the Catskills Outdoor Guide. One grand prize winner gets dinner for two at the Peekamoose in Big Indian.
