WIN FAME & CASH!

Best of Show—$225

1st Place—$150

& Merit Awards—$50

Winners will appear in RANGE during 2025. Prior contestants have earned cash but also starred in RANGE books, the Real Buckaroo Calendar, and have been featured in award-winning RANGE. All uses earn extra money!

All rules must be followed, and a completed and signed entry form must be submitted. One photographer per packet, a maximum of five images, plus a fee of $5 per image.

CONTENT: All photos must be of the people, places, and critters of America’s rangelands. They can be in color or black and white, amateur or professional. Entries must be submitted digitally as high-resolution JPEGs or PNGs via our FTP site (preferred) or WeTransfer. You can also mail a thumb drive with images, caption information, entry form and payment before the deadline to RANGE, P.O. Box 639, Carson City, NV 89702. Media will NOT be returned but will be secured at the RANGE offices or destroyed.

TECHNICAL GUIDELINES: Send high-res JPEGs or PNGs. Minimum size: 3 megapixels (multiply pixel height x width).

FILE NAMES: Label each image with your phone number and a numeral to match the image, like this: 775-555-1212-3. Do not include names or dates in the file name but make sure to include detailed captions that match your image label and will assist in publication.

IMAGE MANIPULATION: No cloning of physical objects or major shifts in color or tonalities—that means no removing telephone poles or adding border collies! Cropping, subtle color corrections and contrast adjustments, conversion to black and white, and removal of spots are allowed. Photos with watermarks, names or date stamps will be disqualified.

IMAGE PREPARATION: Please send us high-resolution images to facilitate publication on high-quality slick paper. To check previous winners, go to www.rangemagazine.com and click on the Summer, Fall and Winter issues of recent back issues.

PERMISSION: Contestants must grant permission to use entries for possible publication in future RANGE magazines, calendars and books. It may also be used for future contest publicity. Calendar, book or magazine use (with other feature stories) all earn extra money.
