South Carolina Wildlife Calendar
While vacationing at Garden City, South Carolina, I had come across the South Carolina Wildlife/Hampton Wildlife Fund Photo Contest, hosted by the SC DNR.
I entered a few photos I had taken, one being the following for their “Recreation” category.
“Surf Fishing at Garden City”
So I didn’t win any awards, and that was okay.Β The winning captures were stunning and I could see quite difficult to beat.Β π
A month ago, I received a large envelope from SC DNR that included their 2019-2020 Wildlife calendar just released.Β Awesome cover shot!
No letter or anything else, just the calendar.Β Hmmmm….
I reviewed the calendar, and oohed and aahed again at the winning photos.
As I reached the inside back cover of the calendar, I instantly saw my photo.Β Β π²Β Β Yes, the one of the fisherman above.

I still made the calendar!Β WOW!Β How cool is that!!
There was a photo contest rule, “a photo entry may still be selected to appear in the annual South Carolina Wildlife July-August calendar issue or other editions.Β Photographers will receive a copy of the issue if their photo has been selected.”
And that, my friends, is my five minutes of fame!Β π
Congrats on making it into the calendar! It’s a great shot. Really shows how small we are compared to our environment.
Thank you! π

You ARE that talented.

On the heels of that, got a link to get a calendar?
Shoot, I meant to look into that! So just did, I saw for last year, it looks like you got the calendar with a paid year’s subscription ($18) to the South Carolina Wildlife Magazine. http://www.scwildlife.com/subscribe.html. I didn’t see anything that they’ve actually released this new calendar yet. Hmmm…..
Looks like they don’t sell them separately? Hm.
What a great surprise! That is something to be proud of. π
