Check out our map below to see where this year's, and previous year's, winner photos were taken.
The first-prize photograph will appear in CBF's 2024 calendar. All winners will also receive a one-year membership to CBF and will have their photos displayed on CBF's website, in a CBF e-newsletter, and in CBF's Save the Bay magazine.
Thank you to everyone who submitted photographs illustrating their vision of the Bay region—from Pennsylvania to Virginia, from the Shenandoah Mountains to the Eastern Shore.
Be sure to check back next spring for our 2024 photo contest!
