SUMMARY:Online - Hill Country Alliance Photo Contest - Home in the Hill Country
DESCRIPTION:The Photo Contest is open from March 22 through May 31\, 2023!\nThe Texas Hill Country – famous for its pristine streams\, blooming wildflowers\, star-filled night skies\, and tucked-away small towns – is home to over 3.8 million people and growing fast. Home to three of the fastest growing counties in the country\, the Hill Country’s population is projected to grow to 5.2 million in the next seven years. Native flora and fauna that have called the region home for millennia – from beloved gray foxes and live oaks to delicate monarchs and milkweeds – are finding their habitats reduced as our human homes continually expand into their native ranges. \nAs more and more people call the Hill Country home\, many of the region’s most special qualities – like sweeping open spaces\, clear flowing waters\, and starry night skies – are at risk of being loved to death and lost forever. This spring\, the Hill Country Alliance (HCA) calls on anyone with a camera to share your view of this iconic region and its many inhabitants in the 2023 Hill Country Photo Contest\, “Home in the Hill Country.” \nNow through May 31\, 2023\, entries can be submitted to HCA’s website. Photographers of all ages and skill levels\, from amateurs to professionals\, are invited to participate. Winners will receive cash prizes and their photos will appear in HCA’s 2024 Calendar. HCA’s annual Texas Hill Country Calendar features stunning photography from each year’s photo contest. \nClick here to learn more about the 2023 photo contest.
