ANFVB Seeking Fall Photos for Contest

Autumn is one of the most wonderful times of the year in McKean County and the Allegheny National Forest Visitors Bureau wants to see it through your eyes.

The Allegheny National Forest Visitors Bureau, the official tourism promotion agency in McKean County, is sponsoring a photo contest for autumn photos that feature sites within McKean County.

It may be a particular roadway, a hilltop or a cluster of trees on the street where you live. It could a “beauty” shot, a child jumping in a pile of leaves, wildlife, scenery or something you saw at a festival. Everyone has a special location to view the leaves and get photos each year. The ANFVB would like you to share those photos with the bureau. Photos submitted may be used in future promotional materials for the Allegheny National Forest region.

“The fall season showcases Mother Nature’s work at its best,” said Linda Devlin, executive director of the ANFVB. “We are excited to see the area as viewed through the lenses of both visitors and residents.”

The contest will be divided into two categories – amateur and professional. Anyone who has received payment for any photograph will be judged in the professional category.

All photos submissions must be 8x10 with the photographer’s name and address plus the location the photo was taken on the back.






Digital photos, which may accompany the printed photo, must have a resolution of 360 or above. Photos may be mailed to ANFVB, P.O. Box 371, Bradford, Pa. 16701. Digital photos may be submitted to devlin@visitANF.com.

First place winners in both the amateur and professional categories will receive a $100 prize. Second and third place winners will receive $50 each in each category.

More than one entry may be submitted per person. A model release form must accompany all entries where the people in the photo can be clearly identified.

All entries submitted with a self-addressed envelope will be returned. Photos and their usage will become the property of the ANFVB.

All entries must be postmarked no later than Nov. 15. Winners will be notified by Dec. 10.

The winning photos will be displayed at the ANF Visitors Center, located at the Old Post Office, 80 E. Corydon St. in Bradford with a photo credit to the photographer.
