Outdoor Oklahoma readers’ photos wanted for ‘Readers Photography Showcase’ issue

Every year, Oklahoma’s outdoor enthusiasts have a unique opportunity to see their best digital outdoor photography published in their very own Outdoor Oklahoma magazine, and now is the time to submit entries.
Submissions for Outdoor Oklahoma‘s 2010 “Readers Photography Showcase” are being accepted through March 31, and winners will have their work featured in the July/August 2010 issue of Outdoor Oklahoma.
The special summer issue gives both professional and amateur photographers the chance to have their digital photos displayed in a magazine nationally recognized for its photography.
“Photography is a great way to enjoy wildlife,” said Nels Rodefeld, editor of Outdoor Oklahoma. “We get to see so many great outdoor images. It seems to get harder every year to make the final selections.”
Each participant may submit up to five digital images. Each submission must include a description of the photo, including the location taken, name and hometown of photographer, names and hometowns of subjects and what it took to get just the right shot. Photos should be in sharp focus, and images should be at least 300 dpi (dots per inch). The canvas size should be about 8 inches by 11 inches. All submissions must be digital and slides and print images will not be accepted. Images mailed on CD or e-mailed to Outdoor Oklahoma become the property of the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.
Hopeful photographers can mail a disk to: Outdoor Oklahoma magazine, Oklahoma Dept. of Wildlife Conservation, P.O. Box 53465, Oklahoma City, OK 73152. Readers may also e-mail their entries to photoshowcase@odwc.state.ok.us.
