For the purposes of this competition, you are considered a professional if you regularly sell your images or garner more than 50 percent of your income from photography. The contest is open to amateur and professional photographers.

We don’t want any injuries in pursuit of a photograph. As you accept this challenge, please stay safe and mind your surroundings. Images can include people or not, and they can be selfies. Judges will look at the quality of light as well as the composition and subject matter to choose the winners. You can enter photographs taken on a phone or with a camera. Subjects could include but aren’t limited to self-portraits or portraits of your family or pets, the scenery outside your window or from the front porch, any sports event or the bounty of your garden. Enter any subject matter that captures what green means to you. Images can be from any year and anywhere, but they must contain at least one element of the color green. With that in mind, our next Shutterbug Photography Contest theme is “Going Green.” It can represent renewal, calm and rebirth in many aspects. Green is the color of many things, including grass, leaves, spring and life.
