Welcome to Tahoe Quarterly’s 2022 Best of Tahoe Photo Contest, which runs from February 25 through March 15.

Winning entries will be showcased in TQ’s 2022 Best of Tahoe issue, while the winner of each category will also receive a $150 prize. Second- and third-place photos will be featured in the magazine, as well, and those photographers will receive three-year Tahoe Quarterly subscriptions. (Note that submitted photos will not be used for any purposes outside of the contest.)

The same rules as last year apply (click here to see last year’s winners), but for those who are new to the contest or need a refresher, the guidelines and categories are listed below. Good luck, and happy shooting.
