Bethany Beach Photo Contest digital entries due Jan. 31

The Town of Bethany Beach is accepting submissions for its annual photo contest. Photos will be selected for use in the 2024-25 town calendar and as part of widespread marketing efforts.

Images should be taken in Bethany Beach and capture the nostalgia that sets Bethany apart from other beach towns. Ideally, pictures should include landmarks that are unique to Bethany, and show why visitors and residents are drawn to the resort town.

The contest is open to both amateurs and professionals. Multiple entries are acceptable but should be limited to three. The town will narrow down the entries into finalists, then survey the public for selection of the grand prize winner. The owner of the photo with the most unique votes will receive a 2024 VIP parking pass good for free parking at any space within town limits during the summer season. All finalists will receive consideration for placement in the calendar, along with a free copy of the calendar.

Entries are due no later than Wednesday, Jan. 31. Only digital photos are accepted, and if selected, they must be high resolution, 300 dpi or greater. Email photos as jpeg attachments to ewoods@townofbethanybeach.com. Do not put them in the body of the email. For complete rules, go to townofbethanybeach.com.

The calendar is mailed to an estimated 3,200 households, and is available for purchase at town hall and town-sponsored events. The town website and social media pages reach an audience exceeding 200,000 annually.
