Four Mile Historic Park is accepting submissions from photographers exploring Colorado through their art. From the state’s natural beauty and wildlife to its people and history, we want to see who and what you’ve felt inspired to capture digitally or on film in the Centennial State.
While Colorado is the unifying theme for this show, all local, national, and international artists, professional and amateur currently working in the United States submitting photos taken in Colorado will be considered.

The second place photographer will receive a cash prize of $50. People’s Choice Winner will receive one-year membership to Four Mile Historic Park.
