Maryland Patch Photo Contest: Submit Your Best Pics

The saying goes pictures are worth a thousand words, and in this case, it's worth a reward for you.

From the Appalachian Mountains to the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland has no shortage of picturesque sites. If you've snapped a pic of a cool place on vacation, in your hometown or over Memorial Day weekend, we want to see it. You could win a $50 e-gift card by sending Patch a photo of your favorite place around Maryland.

Just fill out our "Maryland Patch photo contest" form, and you'll be entered into a random drawing for a $50 e-gift card. Enter through May 31. The winner will be notified by email on June 1.

It's Your State, It's Your Shot!

It's your turn, photographers. Whether you're an amateur, a professional, an Instagrammer or just the one who always has their phone or camera ready so as not to miss that perfect shot, we're excited to view and share your work.

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breathtaking scenery or your family enjoying a scenic spot in Maryland, we'd love to feature it here on Patch.

We're looking for sharp images that reflect the beauty that is Maryland and that show off your unique talents.

Share your best photos with Patch and your work could be featured in your community as well as in a statewide photo roundup. Email your submissions to elizabeth.janney@patch.com. Be sure to include your name, the city, location of the photo and date.
