2013 CANYON COUNTRY PHOTO CONTEST - Begins TODAY! Upload your entry  using the form below.

Enter now through Nov. 30th! You've got lots of time to look through your photos or visit Canyon Country to get your best shot!

The theme this year is Wind, Water & Weather. Your photo could win if it captures the drama and beauty of the play of light, shadow or storm on southeastern Utah’s public lands (or Canyon of the Ancients National Monument). Landscapes only, no vehicles or people. Please note that Zion, Bryce and Capitol Reef National Parks are not in SE Utah, nor is the Grand Staircase-Escalante area, Glen Canyon, or the Lake Powell area.
