The Romance of the Road Photo Contest
Documenting the road trip… a uniquely American experience.
What’s so alluring about getting in a car and driving across the country? Whether good or bad, we all have an affinity for the experiences that unfold on the open road and eventually make a great story. The Light Factory and WFAE want to experience your road stories through photography and words. Awards include Best Fine Art Photo and Best Travel Narrative. Get your cameras ready and hit the road.
