Cool Scotchman's photo? FSPW announces contest

If you were in or around the proposed Scotchman Peaks Wilderness sometime since November 1 of last year, and took a really cool picture, remember to enter it into the Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness annual photo contest.

Entries can post it to instagram.com/friendsofscotchmanpeaks/ and tag it #2018fspwphotocontest, post it on the Scotchman Peaks Facebook page and tag it #2018FSPWPhotoContest, or do it the old-fashioned way and email it to [email protected]. Please include a description of where you took it, when you took it, and maybe even why you took it. High-resolution (2-megabyte or higher in jpeg format) are preferred. Pictures should have been taken within the area or of the area from outside (pictures taken within the proposed wilderness area are preferred.)

An individual can submit up to six photos, of which FSPW staff will choose what they consider the best from each submitter. We will then put those chosen up in a Facebook album after the contest closes on Halloween, 2018.

The final pictures will be judged by the highly qualified panel of Facebook Friends of Scotchman Peaks, who will vote with their “likes” on pictures posted in a special album. Ties will be decided by FSPW staff.

First, second and third place photo takers will be awarded a swag package from FSPW including a hat, bandana and T-shirt.

The grand prize winner’s picture will be professionally framed by Ward Tolbom of Hen’s Tooth Studios in Sandpoint. Ward is an expert framer, as well as a renowned water color artists and huckleberry picker.

Get your 15 minutes of photography fame. Post those pictures or send them in and invite your friends to vote for yours on the Scotchman Peaks Facebook page in November!
