Assignment Open From
Feb 1 - Feb 28, 2019
Red attracts. Red dares. Red declares.
Ruby-throated hummingbirds, red lacewing butterflies, ladybugs, red pandas, and tomato frogs (right) all have fiery red features. For us it’s attractive, but for animals it may be cautionary.
And red is passion. To celebrate Valentine’s Day, show us some love and send over your best photos of your red pursuits.
Our editorial team will choose the best submissions based on appeal, composition, originality, and technical quality. A group of chosen shots for this assignment will be posted on this page and one will be featured.
We can consider a maximum of four submissions per contributor.
NOTE: For this assignment, we’re offering an incentive. The author of the featured photo chosen by our editorial team will receive a Patagonia Chacabuco Pack, perfect for transporting your gear to the office, the crag, or the beach. See the official Contest Rules.
