Calling
all Amateur and Professional Photographers
 The Midwest's largest 24 hour photography competition
is held every April in the Hocking Hills. Shoot the Hills 2013 is April 19 -
21. Competition begins Friday at noon and ends at noon on
Saturday. Entries are judged and Awards Ceremony is Sunday
afternoon.
The
Hocking Hills State Park is a photographer's paradise in the spring! It
is home to four primary waterfalls and many smaller seasonal waterfalls
in a diverse geographic region which includes unique caves and rock
shelters, sandstone cliffs and deep gorges. Additionally, the Park
encompasses Conkle's Hollow State Nature Preserve, which has a diversity
of plant and animal species. In April, wildflowers dot the
landscapes and forest floors. More than 25 miles of hiking trails wind
through 2,356 acres of the State Park that adjoin over 9,200 acres of
nearby State Forest land. This is a must-see for any serious nature
photographer! http://www.shootthehills.com
