It’s time to showcase the natural beauty of Whidbey and Camano Islands through your lens with your best outdoor photos.

The Whidbey Camano Land Trust’s annual photo contest is underway and photo submissions are being accepted.

Everyone is invited to participate. The final day to submit photos is Monday, May 12. Each participant may submit up to five photos.

All photos must be taken outdoors on Whidbey or Camano Islands, however, they don’t have to be taken on a property protected by the Land Trust. Images that showcase island landscapes, plants or wildlife are most desired.

Winning photos will be featured in the 2026 Whidbey Camano Land Trust Calendar. At least 12 feature photos will be selected, one for each month. Twelve smaller photos will also appear in the calendar.

Photographers whose images are selected will receive special recognition and at least one complimentary calendar. Calendars are printed and sold at locations throughout Island County.

Visit the Land Trust’s website at www.wclt.org to learn more about how the contest works and to view photo requirements.

Questions may be directed to wcltphotocontest@gmail.com

By partnering with willing landowners and the broader community, the Whidbey Camano Land Trust works to preserve, protect and expand healthy, diverse and connected natural areas, public parks and family farms. The work benefits climate resilience, clean air and water, safe local food, refuges for fish and wildlife, and provides places for people to connect with nature. Smart conservation also helps the local economy by attracting new people and businesses to these treasured islands.
