Thank you for your interest in the Northwest Exposure Photo Contest. The submission deadline has passed. Winners will be announced in the January+February 2013 issue of Washington Trails magazine.

Submissions for the 2013 Northwest Exposure contest will be accepted starting August 19, 2013.

The 2012 Northwest Exposure categories were:

    • Trailscapes -  Photos should highlight a Washington landscape with a trail in the composition.
    • Hikers in Action - Showcase hikers doing their thing - hiking. Compose a shot that features smiling hikers coming down the trail. Or capture a well-placed hiker in a photo can demonstrate scale in nature.
    • Flora and Fauna - Share your best photo of a Washington native plant or animal found while out on trail—from pikas to bears, from trilliums to lupine. 
    • Families on Trail -  Generations (young and old) sharing the joy of hiking and camping.
    • Offbeat Outdoors - Crazy, weird, or humorous photos taken on the trails of Washington state. This category will be judged in part by public voting online.

     

    Photo submissions deadline was October 14, 2012.  Read complete rules here.

    Thanks to our 2012 Northwest Exposure sponsors!

      Red Top Lookout (Jun 13)

      Red Top Lookout

      Snoqualmie Pass

      Whether you're camping near Cle Elum or just want a prime picnic location for a short Saturday hike, you'll only have to climb a mile on this steep, easy-to-follow trail to get stunning views from a fire lookout (and cool alpine outhouse). It can be great for kids, but keep them close on the exposed summit.
