DHPA’s Historic Preservation Month Photo Contest guidelines are as follows:

  • The 2007 deadline has passed. Please check back next year to enter the 2008 contest
  • Subject of image must be in Indiana and be at least 50 years old
  • Images can be black and white or color and should be current (taken within the last 2 years)
  • Images must be 8x10 prints, mounted or matted on or with a white 11x14 matt board

NOTE: Images become the property of the Department of Natural Resources, Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology. Photographs will be judged by a panel consisting of representatives from the Department of Natural Resources and other preservationists and/or photographers. Submissions will be judged in two categories—12 and under and age 13 and above. Photos will be on display in the south atrium of the State House during May. Prizes may include a complimentary registration to Indiana’s annual preservation conference, a 1-year membership to various museums, and state fair tickets. Winning images will be printed in Preserving Indiana (the DHPA’s newsletter) and will be placed on the Division’s website.
