Can you believe that winter is almost here? Neither can we, so to get all of us in the winter mood, let’s make some photos. To help build some inspiration, we present the B&H Winter Photo Challenge! This time around, we’re inviting you to show us your best efforts across these seven winter-themed photo categories: Holiday Lights, Nighttime Long Exposure, Your Winter Palette, Frozen Abstract, How You Stay Warm, Winter Landscape, and Stillness. There are no entry fees, so it’s absolutely free to enter and win! Oh, and did we mention you can win a Sony a7C Camera Kit?

All you need to do to enter is prepare your favorite winter-themed photos in the categories described below and submit them during the entry period, from 10:00 a.m. ET Sunday, December 13, 2020, through 11:59 p.m. ET Saturday, December 19, 2020. You can submit one photo in each category (1 via each platform mentioned below and 1 email entry) for up to a total of 4 entries per category.

I was kind of hoping you would have put the dates in November, since fall, around here (DC area), hasn't even started yet. Guess I'll be looking at last year's pics.
We unfortunately had to start early to avoid our upcoming holidays, but we are excited to see what everyone has to show!
