The DNR Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology encourages photographers to submit their entries for the annual Historic Preservation Month photo contest.

May is National Historic Preservation Month, but entries showcasing Indiana’s historic places are due the first Friday of April. Entries should be of places in Indiana that are at least 50 years old. Photos can be black and white or color and should have been taken within the last two years.

All images must be 8×10 prints, mounted or matted on or with an 11×14 matte board.

Entries will not be returned. DNR officials advise photos may be used for office displays and promotions for the contest, Historic Preservation Month and historic preservations in general.

Photos will be judged by a panel of representatives from the DNR and other preservationists or photographers. Selected photos from all contests will be displayed in several locations throughout the state in May.
