Fish, Wildlife and Parks Art and Photo Contest
Fish, Wildlife and Parks
Send Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks your best fishing photo and art. The deadline is November 15!
HELENA –Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is still searching for a photo to put on the front cover of the 2026 Fishing Regulations and a kid’s drawing for the back cover. We’re looking for unique or unusual photos, perhaps a state record fish or a fish never previously seen on the cover. Help FWP show what diverse fish can be found in Montana.
Photo contest:
* Photo must be vertical (portrait) mode, or suitable for tight vertical cropping to fit the available space on the regs cover.
* Photo must be a minimum resolution and size of 6 inches tall at 300 pixels-per-inch.
* FWP will feature your name on the front cover as credit. Please specify how you would like to be credited.
* Please include a short description of the photo, so we can provide some caption information.
* Ownership of the photo is retained by the photographer, who may use his/her image for other purposes.
* Please do not send photos of fish that have been mounted.
* Photo must be taken in Montana.
Photo tips:
For a great action shot, have the fish halfway submerged, with the eyes above the water and the camera dropped down to fish level.
To include an angler in the shot, make sure the camera's focus is on the fish not the angler. You can do this with portrait settings on the camera. Make sure your shot is wide where you have the angler in the shot. You can always crop it for more close-ups.
To add better color to a dull shot, increase your saturation, drop those highlights and lift the shadows. The markings on the fish will show up better and provide more depth of field.
Art contest:
Kids 12 and younger are invited to submit a colored drawing of a fish that lives in Montana.
Please send in your best photo and drawing today! Email to fwpphotocontest@mt.gov. Deadline is Nov. 15.
Winners will receive their photo on the cover, a subscription to Montana Outdoors Magazine and a Montana Outdoors t-shirt.
