ODFW contest
Timothy Mazac Jr. of Nyssa submitted a photo of himself and a friend with the mule deer bucks they took during an Eastern Oregon public land archery hunt. The ODFW is holding a photo contest with the winners' photos being used for promotional materials.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife wants to showcase your fishing, hunting, crabbing, clamming and wildlife viewing photos on its website, in promotional materials and on social media sites.

“It’s a great chance for people to share their best shots,” said Information and Education Administrator Rick Hargrave. “Last year’s photo contest winner in the fishing category was featured on the 2014 Sport Fishing Regulations, and we have highlighted the photos of dozens of contest entrants in other places.”

Guidelines:
• The contest opens June 3 and closes June 24, 2015.
• There are five categories: fishing, hunting, crabbing, clamming and wildlife viewing.
• All photos must have been taken by you personally in Oregon.
• By submitting a photo, you agree that it can be used by ODFW on its website and in other promotional products.
• Wildlife viewing photos must be of native species in a natural environment.
• If there are people in the photo, get permission from them before you submit photo.
• Only HIGH RESOLUTION photos, at least 1 megabyte, will be accepted.
• ODFW employees are not eligible to participate in the contest.

Enter your photos via the ODFW website.

One winner will be chosen in each of five categories by a panel of ODFW judges: fishing, hunting, crabbing, clamming and wildlife viewing. Each winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to Cabela’s. See past winners online.
