It’s the Little Things
Assignment Open From
Apr 1 - Jun 1, 2022
Broad strokes of nature can soothe and restore us. And it’s the little things that help us connect and focus.
Get up close and find beauty in the smallest details of a scene. Take a brief walk around your zoo or nearby park and look for the highlights – dew drops on a dragonfly, a lock of spider’s gossamer, or the bright wings of a butterfly.
Find your backyard birds, grasshoppers in the garden, baby animals, or frogs in the pond. Share your favorite photos of the tiny things around you with us.
Our editorial team will choose the best submissions based on appeal, composition, originality, and technical quality. A group of chosen pictures will be posted on this page, and one will even be featured.
ENTER FOR A CHANCE TO WIN
For this assignment, we’re offering an incentive. The author of the featured photo chosen by our editorial team will receive a Patagonia Black Hole Pack 25L, perfect for transporting your gear to the office, the crag, or a weekend at the beach. See the official Contest Rules.
We can consider a maximum of six submissions per contributor.
