Open to both amateur and professional photographers, CBF's annual Save the Bay Photo Contest highlights the beauty and character of the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed through the eyes of those who enjoy it.

Thank you to all who voted in our Viewers' Choice Awards! We can't wait to see who you picked! If you didn't get to vote, we're sorry, but Viewers' Choice voting is now closed. Check back May 6 for our winners announcement.

While you wait for the winners, you can help us protect this amazing treasure so future generations don't have to rely on photographs to see and experience the beauty of our Bay...

Make a donation today and help us continue our restoration, advocacy, and education efforts.

Official judging will be conducted by a panel of CBF employees who will judge entries on subject matter, composition, focus, lighting, uniqueness, and impact. The awards are as follows:

  • First Prize: $500
  • Second Prize: $250
  • Third Prize: $150
  • Viewers' Choice: $100  

In addition, the first-prize photograph will appear in CBF's 2025 calendar. And that's not all: All winners will also receive a one-year membership to CBF and will have their photos displayed on CBF's website, in a CBF e-newsletter, and in CBF's Save the Bay magazine.
