Re: Montana Memory Project Photo Prompt Contest
The Montana Memory Project is hosting the 2nd Annual Photo Prompt contest. Using any photo in the MMP collection participants will write a short story (650 words or less) and submit it to the MMP. Winners will be chosen from grades 3-6, grades 7-12, and adult.
The deadline to enter is March 11, 2022.
Where to begin?
Browse the photo collection to find an interesting photo. Once you've found an image save the link to that image - you'll need it when submitting your story.
If the entire collection is too overwhelming try one of these smaller collections:
Ice and Snow
Photos with animals
Photos of people
How to Enter
Write a short story based on the photo (650 words or less). Email your entry to the Montana Memory
Project (mmp@mt.gov) with the subject line
Photo Prompt Writing Contest. In the message include your full name, age group category and link to the image.
.
Photos and stories will be highlighted on MMP social media accounts.
There are prizes (including publication in Distinctly Montana)!
