'SHOOT THE HILLS'

The Hocking Hills is one of the most beautiful places in Ohio and is a popular background for amateur and professional photographers alike. If you re looking for an opportunity to show off your ability to photograph all that the Hills has to offer, we have just the event for you.


The 9th Annual Nature Photography Competition 'Shoot the Hills' is coming up and is one of the largest photography competitions in the region.


Hosted by Hocking Hills State Park, the competition takes place April 16-18 and includes prizes and ribbons for a total of 53 winners. There are two divisions and the contest is open to all ages. The highlight of the competition weekend is a 24-hour digital photo contest in the counties of Hocking, Athens, Fairfield, and Vinton. If you are not a photographer, you can still join the fun. The weekend will also include vendors, photography programs, special speakers, nature hikes, and more!


So pack up those cameras and meet us in the Hocking Hills this April! The view is breathtaking.
