The Rocky Mountain Raptor Program invites amateur and professional photographers to submit their photos of birds of prey. The top 13 photographs will be included in the RMRP Annual 2017 Raptor Photo Calendar. All photographs will include photo credits.
Entry fees are $20 for the first photo submitted and $10 per additional photo. These entry fees help defray the cost of printing the calendar.

Winning photographers will receive a free copy of the calendar, and a discount on additional calendar purchases.

Photos should be submitted via flash drive, CDR or similar media. Please label the media with your name and Email address. PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL PHOTOS.
