Photographers of all skill levels are invited to submit their images from throughout Pennsylvania's portion of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed for the annual Save the Bay Photo Contest sponsored by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF).

Photo submissions should illustrate the beauty of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, as well as the plants, animals, and people relying on it. Images depicting water, wildlife, recreation, farms, and flora will be considered.

In last year's Save the Bay Photo Contest, the photograph "River's Bend" by George Kurzik of Hellam won the top prize from judges. His entry captured the view from Chiques Rock in Lancaster County overlooking the bend in the Susquehanna River toward Accomac in York County in 2023.

The deadline for submissions is Friday, March 27. Photos will be narrowed down by a CBF panel based on subject matter, composition, focus, lighting, uniqueness, and impact. Members of the public will then be able to vote for their favorite image in the Viewer's Choice Gallery from Monday, April 6, to Friday, April 24.

Winners will receive a one-year CBF membership and a cash prize. Winning photographs will also be featured on CBF's website, social media, 2027 calendar, and award-winning Save the Bay magazine.
