Photo Contest

CVPS members, it is time to start thinking about the photos you want to submit in the 2026 photo contest! Participation is a benefit of your CVPS membership. Winners will be awarded gift cards from B&H and other prizes.

Photos may be taken in any national, state or local park, wildlife refuge, forest etc. in the United States. Categories include landscape, wildlife and close-up. One category is for photos specifially taken in the Cuyaohoga Valley National Park or adjascent MetroParks (Brecksville & Bedford). For 2026, we have added a new category for photos taken at the locations of our photowalks between the date the walk location is announced and the date of the critique. You do not have to have attended the critique to qualify.We are looking forward to seeing your submissions.

Details for the 2026 contest coming soon and the submission window will open on Sunday October 4th.
