Who Can Enter

The contest is open to photographers of all experience levels, from beginners to experienced photographers.

You must be 21 or older to enter.

Choosing the Winner

This is not a juried photography competition.

One winner will be selected at random from all eligible entries, so don't worry about whether your photograph is technically perfect. We simply want to encourage you to get outside, pick up your camera, and photograph fall your way.

The Prize

The winner will receive 2 FREE months of The Image Lab, Seacoast Photography School's monthly photography coaching program.

During each month, the winner will:

• Submit 3 images for review
• Receive personalized written feedback on their work
• Receive a private live online session to discuss their work, ask questions, and explore opportunities for continued growth

Prize has no cash value and may not be transferred or exchanged.

Your Photograph Stays Yours

You retain all rights and copyright to your photograph.

Submitting an image does not give Seacoast Photography School unrestricted rights to use your work for advertising or marketing. If we'd like to feature your photograph on our website, newsletter or social media, we'll ask your permission and provide photographer credit.

A Few Final Details

No purchase is necessary to enter. One entry per person. Duplicate entries will not increase the chances of winning.

The winner will be contacted using the email address provided with their entry. If we are unable to reach the selected winner within 7 days, another winner may be selected at random.

By submitting an entry, you confirm that the photograph is your own work and that you agree to these contest rules.

Most importantly: get out, have fun, and show us what fall looks like through your lens!
