Seeking Photos for the 2020 Head in the Clouds Amherst Calendar!

Your photo could be featured (kind of like this) in our 2020 calendar!

CALLING ALL AMHERST-AREA (and AMHERST VISITING) PHOTOGRAPHERS:

Head in the Clouds Amherst is seeking photo submissions for our 2020 calendar. As in past years, the 2020 calendar will once again feature monthly photos taken by 12 different photographers. You can see last year’s calendar, here. 

The deadline to submit is July 1, 2019. Submissions can be emailed or uploaded via Google Drive to CloudsAmherst@gmail.com. Please enter "HITC 2020 Calendar Photo Submissions" in the subject line.

Along with your photo(s), please include: a caption or title; who is in the photo (unless it's a crowd scene or taken from a distance), where it was taken, the photographer's name, and your contact information. If your photo is selected, you will be asked to provide additional information, including a bio to be included in the 2020 calendar.

All submissions must be taken in or depict a scene IN AMHERST. Submissions taken of other locations (Hadley, Northampton, the Connecticut River, etc.) will not be considered. The photo should also evoke the seasons and the intersection of life and weather. In addition to those qualities, if your photo also captures one or more of these themes it will get special consideration:

• Unique renderings of Amherst landmarks (popular gathering sites, university/colleges, museums, etc.)
• Amherst annual events and happenings
• Clouds formations and weather phenomena (over or around Amherst)

Click on this link for additional tips on submitting winning Head in the Clouds Amherst photos. Keep in mind that we cannot consider photos that are low resolution, low quality, or that contain inappropriate material. 

We welcome photos by professionals and amateurs, in color or black and white. And we’re also counting on friends of Head in the Clouds re-submitting photos you’ve already sent to us over the year - don't assume your photo is being considered just because you sent it to us at some other point in the past or we posted it to Facebook or the blog. You can submit as many photos as you like.

If your photo is selected for the 2020 calendar, you will receive a free calendar and reduced rates on any additional calendars you opt to purchase.  This enterprise is a labor of love, break-even project - but what we don't make in money we make up for in enthusiastic community support/spirit and awesome photos.

So what are you waiting for??? Start flipping through your photo collection – or grab your camera and make some new memories. We can’t wait to see what you’ve got!
