MMS Annual Photo Contest, 2024!

It’s that time of year again folks! Yes, it’s MMS photo contest time 😃 📸

The MMS Photo Contest is an annual event where we enjoy and learn from mushroom photography by our members.  It’s never too early to start taking photos and planning each year’s photo submissions!

All photo submittals are due by midnight on Thursday, October 31, 2024.
Please review MMS-Photo-Contest-Rules-2024 before submitting your entries. This is a members-only event. If you have any questions contact Nan Etzwiler, contest coordinator at photos@minnesotamushrooms.org.

MMS members may submit entries in any or all of the categories of “Pictorial, “Scientific” and “Activity/Humor/Other”. Photos will be anonymously ranked by a jury of past award winners and one who has not previously won. First through Fourth Place awards will be given in each of the three categories, with at least one award in each category being given to an entrant who has not won more than twice since 2014. In addition to the “Place” awards and across all categories, the Photo Contest Director awards a “Director’s Award” and the prestigious “Blewit Award” is awarded to the entry with the most votes.

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