Your Photography Mission
Capture the beauty of the Wind River Territory.
Bring your cameras to the Wind River Territory, Stroll along Main Street, Shop in any other numerous shops, wade along the beaches, and wander through the wilderness. Find something that inspires you and take a photo of it. It might be the land, the residents, or something from one of our many talented vendors and take a photo of it.
Submission of entries
Starting September 17th, the flickr group “Inspired by Wind River Territory” will open and you can start submitting your photos to the group. The contest ends on Sept 26th, with the winners being announced on September 28th. Wind River Territory will be hosting a reception for the artists. All Honorable Mentions and the Winning Photos will be on display during the Reception, with the First Place Winner announced at the conclusion of the evening.
