Welcome to the 2022 Western New York Southtowns Scenic Byway Photography Contest! We would love to have your entries (up to 5) included in our contest. Please go to the next page to review and acknowledge the contest rules. If you have any problems with the submission form, please email us at info@WNYSSB.org.

In order to participate in this year's WNYSSB Photography Contest, you must read and agree to the contest rules and regulations listed below.

The contest is open to the public. There is no fee for entry. You may enter up to five (5) different photographs. Entries do not have to be submitted at the same time.

If you enter more than five images, only the first five chronological entries will be accepted. All others will be deleted and not considered for judging. All entries must be submitted to the WNYSSB using this form. The deadline for submission is November 30, 2022 at 11:59:59 PM

All photographs must be taken within the geographic boundaries of the WNY Southtowns Scenic Byway. See the map for details.

All photos must be original work, taken by the entrants. No third party may own or control any materials the photo contains and the photo must not infringe upon the trademark, copyright, moral rights, intellectual rights, or rights of privacy of any entity or person.

Entries remain property of the photographer. By submitting photographs, you are granting the WNY Southtowns Scenic Byway the rights to use your entries to promote the Byway and the Byway photo contest. If your entry is selected as a finalist, you are granting the WNY Southtowns Scenic Byway the rights to display your photographs on the WNYSSB.org website, as well as in any venues that are displaying other entries in conjunction with this photography contest.

Entries must be submitted in JPG format. Each image submitted should be no larger than 150dpi and no greater than 15 MB. If your image(s) are selected as finalists, we will request larger, higher resolution version(s) of the image(s) so they can be displayed properly on local theater screens during the final judging period.

Entries will not be accepted unless submitted via the official contest channel (i.e., this form on this website). Entries not submitted through the proper channel will be deleted.

Entries will be judged by area newspaper photographers as selected by the Western New York Southtowns Scenic Byway (WNYSSB). All decisions are final.

The WNYSSB reserves the right to disqualify any entry that is deemed inappropriate or does not conform to stated contest rules.

Because of the adult nature of the prizes, prizes will be awarded to adult family members of minors who participate.

By clicking the "Next" button, you understand and agree to abide by these rules.
