Have you been in awe at the beautiful fall scenery outside your window? Have your kids been excited to pick up leaves and discover nuts hiding in the grass? Then this is the contest for you!
My Big Helper’s book club recently read “Callie’s Contest of Courage” by Jan May. Callie is a creative girl who loves her family, animals, and photography. During our book club meeting we learned about how to take good pictures, and the girls had a blast – and then we thought, why not have a contest like the one that Callie entered?
So here it is: our Nature Photography Contest for Kids!
- Any child aged 7 to 12 may enter.
- The photographs must be taken by the child, but adults may assist in the uploading or digitization process.
- Each photograph must fit the nature theme.
- A child may submit multiple pictures – but each entrant is eligible to win only one prize.
- Photographs may be edited, but all editing work must be done solely by the child.
- Photographic entries must be taken between September 1, 2014, and October 31, 2014.
- Winners will be chosen based on the number of ‘likes’ and clicks received on each thumbnail.
- The top five vote-getting photographs will be displayed in a later blog post at A Nest in the Rocks.
- The grand prize winner will receive: a copy of Callie’s Contest of Courage and the accompanying Liturature Study Guide by Jan May, a copy of The Stolen Necklace by Andi Bradsher, and a scrapbooking kit. The second-place winner will receive a copy of The Stolen Necklace.
- Entrants may campaign for votes by advertising their entries and this contest.
This contest will open on Friday, October 17, and will run through October 31. So, break out your camera and start taking pictures!
Let your kids be creative. Think nature. Maybe fall is very evident where you live right now. Go for leaf collages, buckets of nuts, busy squirrels, or whatever thing outside strikes your kid’s fancy. Let loose and have fun with it.
Good luck!

Hi Amy,
I had trouble contacting you, because I couldn’t find your email. I was trying subscribe to your newsletter and I get this message: “Please select at least one list to subscribe to.”, but it is not showing me a choice of lists.
I’m interested in this contest for my children, but I’m not sure where to post our entries.
Thanks for your help.
Hi, Melanie,
Thank you for letting me know about the subscription problem. I’ve only recently set that up and will get it resolved today.
The photography contest will go live later today and will run through the end of October. I’m happy to hear that your children plan to enter. Good luck!
Amy
Thank you!
