Taking photos that capture the essence of our diverse public lands and waters, along with our experiences on them, is no easy task. Yet these images are essential in communicating the value of our wild landscapes and the richness of our outdoor pursuits to decision makers and the greater public. Throughout August you can help drive BHA’s mission forward and conserve the waters you love by entering your images in our Public Waters Photo Contest.
Simply upload photos that you feel best capture the spirit of our wild public waters and wildlife. We’ll utilize these images throughout the year to bring awareness and generate action around important conservation and water access issues, and ethical practices afield.
As a thank you, we’ll be awarding BHA and Yeti prize packages and a highlight in the winter issue of Backcountry Journal for those who submit the most powerful images.
