You still have time to enter the Kansas Wildlife and Parks Magazine's 10th annual photo contest, but you'd better hurry! The deadline for this year's contest is Friday.
For many readers, the annual photo issue showcasing the epitome of what it means to live in and enjoy the state of Kansas is a favorite.
The issue is made possible, in part, because of the Wild About Kansas photo contest in which amateur and professional photographers can compete to have winning photos published in it.
Photographers can submit up to three photos each in the following categories.
●Game Species (This category is primarily for game mammals, migratory birds, furbearers, etc.)
●Non-game Species (This category is primarily for insects, reptiles, and amphibians, etc.)
●Landscapes
●Outdoor Recreation (Not hunting or fishing)
●Hunting and Fishing
Submissions for the 2022 contest must be received by 11:59 p.m. on Dec. 2, 2022 to be considered.
