The photo submission deadline for the 2009 American Whitewater Calendar is less than a month away!
You have until July 18th to submit your photos to be featured in the 2009 calendar. The 2008 calendar was such a big hit we expect this year’s to be even more popular. That means your very own photo could be hanging on the walls of AW members and fans all over the country!
WHO: Any and all photographers, from professionals to complete novices. Have you taken a photo before? Then you’re ready to participate.
WHY: Imagine, your photo proudly looking out over the living rooms, garages, and gear sheds of American Whitewater enthusiasts. Some for up to 31 days at a time! Each of last years submitters got their roughly 44,640 minutes of fame – why shouldn’t you?
WHAT: Photos featuring American rivers with any and all types of river-going crafts. Action and extreme photos will be just as welcomed as frames of flatwater and near river activities. Special consideration will also be given to photos that feature one of AW’s ongoing river projects or past successes in some way. A partial list of these areas is featured below (in no particular order).

HOW: Digital images only, no slides or prints, please. Image files should ideally include the river name and state where the image was taken in the file name, example: "IMG_1234_Colorado_River_Colorado.jpg". Alternatively, each photo should at least include a simple note (in a seperate file is fine) detailing where each image was taken. Finally, images must be available as high-resolution files (suitable for printing at 13" X 13") to be included in the 2009 American Whitewater calendar, without monetary compensation. Maximum 10 photos per person. Please send low-resolution images (maximum 5 MB per message) or links to online galleries (if more than 10 indicate which 10) to:
