Readers of "Outdoor Oklahoma" magazine have an opportunity to see their own photography published this year in the magazine's annual Readers' Photography Showcase. Submissions are being accepted until March 31, 2007.
The special July/August issue gives both professional and amateur photographers the chance to have their digital photos displayed in a magazine that consistently receives national recognition for its photography.<br />
According to Nels Rodefeld, "Outdoor Oklahoma" editor, this year's showcase marks the first year the magazine will be accepting only digital photograph submissions for the Readers' Photography Showcase.<br />
"The Readers' Photography Showcase is always one of our favorite issues because of the wide range of images that are submitted by readers from all across the state," Rodefeld said. "There are all kinds of landscapes, sunsets and wildlife species in Oklahoma that make for stunning photographs, and it is great to see our reader's getting out and enjoying it all. It's rewarding to share those images with our readers each year in this special issue."<br />
Rodefeld said that although reader submissions usually include a variety of subjects, the magazine has been focusing on "faces in the outdoors" to show hunters, anglers, kids and other outdoor enthusiasts enjoying the outdoors.<br />
"We are encouraging readers to submit outstanding photos of Oklahoma sportsman taking part in the outdoors," Rodefeld said. "The
on a young deer hunter's face or two veteran anglers sharing a friendship and a love for fishing really captures what enjoying our state's outdoors is all about."<br />
Each participant may submit up to five digital images. Each submission must include a description of the photo, including the location taken, 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. Slides and print images will not be accepted. Hopeful photographers can mail a disk to: "Outdoor Oklahoma" magazine, ?Oklahoma Dept. of Wildlife Conservation, ? P.O. Box 53465, Oklahoma City, OK 73152.
