Coastal Review Online periodically publishes photos focused on the North Carolina coastal environment from staff, readers and freelancers. We also highlight selected photos on our homepage and Facebook page and Twitter profile.
Photos should capture North Carolina’s coastal character as it relates to the natural environment. They will be judged based on their originality, technical excellence, lighting, composition, artistic merit and overall effect or storytelling. Show us the beauty or personality of the North Carolina coastal environment with shots of its landscapes, wildlife, people or culture. We’re also looking for images that depict the news that Coastal Review Online covers. No topic will be given priority over another. Remember, originality is key.
