Pure Michigan is Looking for Your Best Michigan Photos

Pure Michigan is asking people across the state, and beyond, to share their favorite Pure Michigan photos during the 3rd Annual Michigan Moments Photo Contest. Photos will be displayed in a photo gallery at michigan.org/photocontest with the winning photograph included in a 2015 Pure Michigan Travel Guide and displayed as the cover photo on the Pure Michigan Facebook page.

Photos for the contest may be submitted to the gallery on michigan.org or through Twitter and Instagram using the hashtags #PureMichigan and #PMContest2014. Submissions should identify the location in Michigan featured in the photo and cannot have been submitted in previous Pure Michigan photo contests.Photos may be submitted until midnight on November 7, 2014.

Individuals will be able to vote on the photo they believe best represents Pure Michigan during a voting period that runs from Saturday, November 8 through midnight on Friday, November 14. People may vote for multiple entries; however only one vote per person will be allowed per entry, per day during the voting period.

The winning photograph will be chosen from the Top 10 photos as voted by the general public, based on which photo best represents the quality and character of Pure Michigan. It has the potential to be seen by hundreds of thousands of people through inclusion in a 2015 Pure Michigan Travel Guide and on Pure Michigan’s social channels. This is the first time a fan photo will be used as the Facebook cover photo on the Pure Michigan Facebook page.

In 2013, more than 3,000 photos were submitted during the contest with 56,211 votes cast in total. Photos were submitted from every corner of the state and included everything from scenic landscape and urban adventure shots to family vacations and photos of pets. Last year’s winning photo, submitted by Carla White of Christmas, featured a sunset over Lake Superior, just west of Bay Furnace Park in Christmas, Mich.
