The 2024 Naturescapes Photography Contest is now accepting entries! The entry deadline is June 24th. I am pleased to announce Melody Lytle is serving as our juror. Melody is a retired City of Austin endangered species biologist and an amazing nature photographer!
The contest is celebrating its 20th year, and I'd like to ask your help in spreading the word about it. Let's make the 20th year the best one yet! It's amazing how the contest has grown over the years. Initially it was limited to photographs taken within San Marcos and its greenbelt areas, then it expanded to include all of Hays County, and it now includes the surrounding counties: Blanco, Comal, Guadalupe, Caldwell, and Travis. This was only possible because of your support and participation.
