Delaware Beach Life welcomes photo contest entries by July 1

Delaware Beach Life magazine invites amateur photographers to enter its eighth annual Photography Contest. Photographs must capture life in coastal Delaware. Categories are: Wildlife (wild animals in their natural habitat); Scenic (images may include people or pets); and People (in action or not). Entries must be postmarked by Tuesday, July 1.

Photographers may submit up to three entries per category. Images may be color, black-and-white or digitally altered, but will not be judged separately. Only photographic prints - no smaller than 8 inches and no larger than 14 inches in either direction - may be submitted. Prints smaller than 8-by-8-inches or larger than 14-by-14-inches will not be accepted.

Judges will evaluate entries based on creativity, originality and technical proficiency. Winners will be announced in the October issue of Delaware Beach Life, which will feature the top three photographs in each category. The winning photographs will also be displayed at the Rehoboth Beach Museum and on the Delaware Beach Life website.

A completed entry form must accompany each entry. Entry forms are available online at delawarebeachlife.com/images/pdf/DBLphotocontestform.pdf. All submissions must be mailed to Delaware Beach Life, Attn: Photo Contest, P.O. Box 417, Rehoboth Beach DE 19971.

There is no fee to enter the contest. For complete rules and entry information, visit delawarebeachlife.com/photocontest.
