Can I alter my digital photo in Photoshop or other computer programs?
Altered photography will not be accepted.

How many photos can I enter?
Up to three entries per person are allowed.

Will my photo be used again, and if so will you pay me?
The winning images will be printed one time only in the September 2008 issue of Coastal Living and may be used for promotional purposes in later contests. By signing the entry form or submitting your photo online you allow us usage for those purposes. A low-resolution version of the winning images, along with the honorable mentions, will also appear on our Web site.

Will I still have copyright?
You will retain all copyright privileges.

Can anyone enter the contest? (Age restrictions, nationality, etc.)
Amateur photographers ages 21 and up may enter the contest, and you do not have to be a U.S. citizen to enter. Anyone affiliated with the magazine or the sponsors is not eligible.

Does it have to be a coastal picture?
Yes.

Do the coastal pictures have to be limited to coastal areas in the United States?
We ask that the images be of coastal areas in the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii, Great Lakes), Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean, because that is the main editorial focus of Coastal Living magazine.

For complete details, see contest Rules and Regulations.
