The annual MMS Photo Contest for 2021 has begun! The format for presenting and judging photos will follow the same approach used last year due to the continued absence of in-person meetings.

The judging will rank anonymous photos using a 5-person jury selected from past award winners and at least one who has not previously won. Judges votes for their own submittals will not be counted in the averaged scores. Five “Place” awards will be given in each of the 3 categories (Pictorial, Scientific, and Activity/Humor/Other), with at least 2 awards in each category being given to entrants who have not won more than twice since 2012 (Honorable Mentions are not a criteria for counting as a ‘win’). The highest overall vote earner wins the “Blewit Award.” Honorable mention certificates may be presented for non-winning entries that receive particular interest during the voting.

All photo submittals are due by midnight on Sunday, October 31, 2021.

Please review the contest rules and details before submitting your entries. This is a members-only event. If you have any questions contact Howard Goltz, contest coordinator at photos@minnesotamycologicalsociety.org.

You can view winning photos for previous contests on our Home page and Photo Galleries page.
