Blowin’ Out of the Water Photo Contest

The Roseau County Museum is holding a photo contest in conjunction with the We Are Water MN exhibit on display now through October 9, 2023. The contest runs from September 12 through October 5.

The Roseau County Museum will print all submitted photos that will be placed on display for people to vote on October 6 & 7. The top twelve photos submitted will be featured in our upcoming 2024 calendar. The twelve winners will receive a free calendar and $10 off museum gift shop merchandise.

All photos must be original work taken by the entrants. No third party may own or control any materials the photo contains, and the photo must not infringe upon the trademark, copyright, moral rights, intellectual rights, or rights of privacy of any entity or person.

• Photos must show water of some type.
• Photos must be taken within 100 miles of Roseau, basically, from the ND border, Bemidji to I’Falls.
• Photo submissions must be able to be printed clearly on 8×10 paper. The museum will print the photos. Suggested 300 dpi or 7.2 megapixels, the minimum size is 180 dpi, which is a resolution of 1440 x 1800 pixels.
• Photos must be submitted on the form below or by email: rchsroseau@gmail.com. Photos posted to social media sites will not be accepted as the reprinted photo quality would be insufficient.
