The 2026 Pagosa Springs Photography Club Digital Photography Contest is now open for entries! Any Photography Club member in good standing can participate, and new or renewing members can join the Club at the time of entry. The submission deadline is October 14, 2026, and members can submit up to 6 photos (2 per category) for a flat fee of $10. Just send in your digital image files, not prints. Independent judges will evaluate the images, and prizes will be awarded at an Awards Celebration on November 11. The top three images in each category will receive ribbons and cash prizes at the Awards Celebration, and all entries will be displayed. Plus, there will be a “People’s Choice” voting on the images entered.
There are four themed categories: Nature (think flowers, wildlife, animals, birds, or insects); People (sports/action, candid, portrait, wedding, street, photojournalism); Landscape (scenery is the main focus, including cityscapes and nightscapes); and Creative (an obvious departure from reality, like photo painting or abstract photos). Check out the contest guidelines and entry form below for more details.
If you haven’t entered the contest before, this is a fantastic chance to get feedback from the judge and other Club members about your images. Our aim with this contest is to celebrate members’ talent and encourage everyone to share their best work with the group. So, pick your best images and submit them!
For contest guidelines and directions on entering your images, click here. The guidelines will show you how and where to submit your files. Then, download the contest entry form and fill it out with your entries. Just a heads-up: you should be able to fill in the information on the entry form using the text tool of Adobe Acrobat Reader or Mac Preview. The easiest way to submit your images is through the Dropbox link in the entry form, but you can also bring entries on a flash drive to the PSPC meetings on September 9 or October 14.
