The Eagle River Camera Club is proud to sponsor the 11^th annual Bear Paw Photography Contest. 

Adults, teens and children are invited to submit photos taken in Alaska during the time period from January 1, 2017 to date.  Categories of competition include: Eagle River, People, Flora, Fauna, Scenic, Cultural and Creative.  A special, unrestricted Open category is for children age 12 and under.  The deadline for submissions is June 1, 2018 and judging takes place on Saturday June 9^th.

This is a juried exhibition, and each year a panel of 3 judges evaluates the submitted photos to decide the winners.  Entrants may submit as many photos as they like, and the contest rules and entry forms can be readily found on Facebook’s “Bear Paw Photography Contest” page.  Winning photographers receive cash prizes and their photos will be displayed at Jitters throughout the month of July.  The fun continues as the public viewing the exhibit during the Bear Paw Festival gets to vote on a Festival Favorite photo. 

This is a wonderful opportunity for new and experienced photographers to learn from one another and to share their work with the Eagle River-Chugiak community.
