The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) has launched its latest photo contest for the 2026-27 edition of its Tennessee Wildlife magazine calendar and license cards, beckoning all photographers to submit their finest shots of the state's indigenous fauna – or their moments of hunting, fishing, and boating glory within Tennessee's abundant natural settings. According to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, each participant can enter up to 10 photos, but the deadline is stamped – all entries must be sent in by March 20, 2026.
Submitted photos must be in JPEG format and sized for print at no smaller than 8.5 by 11 inches, with a minimum resolution of 300 pixels per inch to ensure high-quality reproduction in the calendar and on TWRA license cards. To enter, participants can upload their images showcasing Tennessee’s wilderness or outdoor recreation through the calendar contest page on the TWRA's website. Selected winners for the August–July calendar will receive a $60 stipend, and their photographs may also appear in additional TWRA publications, as well as on the agency’s website and social media platforms.
Tennessee Wildlife, the official publication of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, highlights the state’s diverse ecosystems and strong outdoor heritage. Annual subscriptions are available for $10, with two-year subscriptions priced at $17 and a three-year option offered at a discounted rate of $25. Readers can subscribe directly through the TWRA website, securing future issues and a spot for the magazine on their shelves.
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is responsible for conserving, managing, and protecting the state’s fish and wildlife, while also enforcing safety regulations on Tennessee’s waterways. Through these efforts, the agency works to preserve the state’s natural beauty and outdoor opportunities for future generations, promoting a lasting culture of stewardship and respect for the environment.
