Layers of Fall – 2025 Fall Photo Contest

Uncover the “Layers of Fall” with our 2025 Fall Photo Contest!

Autumn is full of layers — from colors and textures to depth and perspective. But what makes a photograph stand out is how you compose those elements together. This season, we’re challenging you to go beyond the obvious. Explore unique compositions, unexpected angles, and outside-the-box perspectives that reveal fall in a new way using detail, texture and color. Think about how layers of subject, space, and storytelling can come together in your frame to create something unforgettable.
