Thank you for your interest in the Outdoor Photographer Winter Photo Contest.

We've compiled a list of frequently asked questions. If, for some reason, your question isn't answered here, please send us an e-mail at wintercontest_faq@outdoorphotographer.com.

Q: Do the photos I submit for the contest have to have a traditional winter theme?
A: No, your photos don't have to be of snow, ice, storms, etc. We invite you to show us your best landscape, wildlife, travel and sports photos from around the globe.

Q: How many photos can I enter?
A: For this contest, we allow up to 2 photos maximum per person. Submitting more than two will disqualify you from the contest.

Q: I submitted two photos, but why did only one of them or neither of them make it into the gallery?
A: Each person’s photos are subject to approval. Once you complete the online entry form, one of our editors approves or disapproves each photo for the online gallery.

Q: When will the winners be announced?

Q: When I try to enter online, I get an error message. What's going on?
A: Often, if your first attempt at entering online isn’t successful, our system won’t let you enter again—it’s a way to prevent duplicate submissions. Try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies—even restarting your computer—and go to the online entry page again.

Q: I've tried clearing my cache and cookies, and I even bought a new computer. The online entry form just isn't working for me.
