The annual Historic Preservation Month photo contest, sponsored by the Department of Natural Resources Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology, is underway.

The subject of entry photos must be in Indiana, be at least 50 years old and be something that was designed or built by people. It can be a building that has been restored to perfection or one that needs some love. The idea is to show the value of historic preservation. Photos of exclusively natural elements are not eligible.

Rules and guidelines and the required entry form are available online at on.in.gov/preservation-month.

The photos should be JPEG files (less than 10MB). Each photo and the required entry form should be emailed to [email protected] as attachments. Photographers can submit up to three photos but can submit only one photo and entry form per respective email.

Follow the DNR Instagram account (@Indianadnr) from May 1 to 7 when the DHPA will be doing a takeover for a week and featuring selected photos and contest winners.

The contest deadline is April 1.
