Photo Contest 2018

We were happy to donate to two charities last year and this year we are aiming for twelve!

Let’s see your best shots and help your fellow man, woman or pet or cause in need.

Machines & Methods is starting the New Year with a little Photo Contest.

The idea is that our customers submit photos every month depicting a scene in the US Pacific Northwest+ region.

Each month a photo will be selected and added to the website under the title:

Northwest+ Pick of the Month

At the end of the year the 12 photos selected will be made into a calendar and mailed, either in digital or print form, to all who made submissions.

Now for the good part

A $100 check will be donated to the winner’s favorite Northwest+ charity.

Rules: Few… just send in your pic and win! Or read the T&C’s, if you are so inclined.

  • You live in the Northwest+ … WA OR ID MT UT BC HI or Alaska.
  • Submissions: Before the end of the third week of each month simply send to tony AT machinesandmethods DOT com
  • Three pics max please that have been taken within the last 90 days.
  • Images should be jpgs, max 300dpi and ideally less than 2mb in file size.

Each image to be accompanied with:

  • Title, Brief Description or Comment
  • Your Name, Company, City and State/Province
  • Camera and Settings. Date and Time

Indicate your chosen Northwest+ Charity and by submittal you agree that Machines & Methods has the right to reproduce by print or digitally as per the intent of the contest.
