Northwest Exposure Photo Contest is now open until October 12.

Photos submitted to Northwest Exposure help WTA protect trails. Your stunning images help us tell stories of Washington’s wild places, encouraging both exploration and preservation of our state’s natural areas. 

Prizes are awarded to one grand prize winner, to the first, second and third place winners in each main category and to one winner from each bonus category. They will be mailed to the shipping addresses winners provide after being notified of their selection. The winning photos will also be featured in our annual calendar and online. 

All entrants

• All photos have the opportunity to be featured in Washington Trails Magazine, on wta.org, on social media and onstage at Benaroya Hall at our concert in collaboration with the Northwest Symphony Orchestra.
