Photography enthusiasts, submit images of your year’s adventures in Oregon and across the world! Submissions close Nov. 20, online public voting takes place Nov. 23-Dec. 6, and the winners are announced Dec. 10.

Now in its 14th year, Photo of the Year is an annual photo contest fundraiser for Friends of Outdoor School. It includes a category for Professionals, an Instagram category and a special FREE category for Youth, in honor of the Oregon children we help send to Outdoor School each fall and spring.

It all began in fall 2002 by two friends who wanted to showcase incredible photos taken on travels and adventures during the year. As the contest grew, they decided the money raised should go toward a worthy cause. Both were passionate about preserving Outdoor School, so in 2004, Photo of the Year became a fundraiser to help send fifth and sixth graders to Outdoor School.
