This category is sponsored by the Beaumont CVB.

Category Description: On the border between Louisiana and the Lone Star State, we like to say Beaumont is the best of both worlds. Texas-sized fun with Cajun culture and Southern charm to boot, we want to see what makes our city great through your eyes. Whether that’s a secret nature spot, one of our amazing local eateries, or one of the historic homes, show us what you love about Beaumont.

You are able to enter up to five (5) photos per category, provided that none of them were entered in a previous year’s edition of the contest. Please note that if you enter a photo in one category, it may not be entered in another – you can only enter it once. For a complete list of FAQ’s, click here.
Labeling/Naming Your Photograph: Images must not be watermarked. All file names should contain the Entrant’s last name, first name and the county where the photograph was taken. An “_” should be used between each of the items. Sequential numbering should be used (1,2,3,4 or 5) to note number of entries per Entrant.
