in The Daily Astorian and the
Chinook Observer.
ocus, people!
Coast Weekend’s 2018 Photo Con-
test opens Friday, Nov. 9, and closes
midnight Sunday, Dec. 9.
The Daily Astorian staff will choose the top
10, and you have a chance to weigh in, too.
The public can vote online for People’s Choice
from Monday, Dec. 10, through Sunday, Dec.
16.
One important (ahem) development: We’re
accepting digital photos only, no physical
copies. However, anyone is free to scan photos
and upload them to the online platform.
The subject matter is wide open (let’s keep
it G-rated, though, OK?). Last year’s best
included a brilliant sunrise bursting through a
stand of trees, a fluffy fog blanket beneath the
Astoria Bridge, a Columbia River Bar pilot
boarding a ship, and a slew of sunsets and
coastal creatures.
Whether you capture city life or the natural
world, whether your photos are carefully
planned portraits or spontaneous snapshots,
whether you train your lens on the heavens or
the earth, this contest is about what draws you
into wonder and sharing it with our readers.
Entrants may play with cropping, toning,
color saturation and make other minor en-
hancements, but they may not add or remove
objects within the frame, or doctor images
such that the final product doesn’t represent
what’s actually before the camera. (Only pho-
tographers from Oregon and Washington may
submit work.)
The winners will appear in the Jan. 3, 2019,
print edition of Coast Weekend; the top 25 will
appear online.
Along with the usual awards — gift cards
for first, second and third place, and People’s
Choice — we have another: The best photos of
the Columbia-Pacific region will appear in Our
Coast Magazine 2019, due out early next year.
So go ahead, photogs — take your best
shot! Submit photos at coastweekend.com/
