The Source Summer Photo Contest is here.

Long days, dusty trails, cold drinks, river floats, golden hour that seems to last forever—summer in Central Oregon is something special, and we want to see it through your lens.

From April 6 through May 17, submit your best summer shots for a chance to be featured in The Source’s Summer Guide, publishing May 21. Winning photos may appear on the cover or inside the issue, seen by thousands across the region.

Whether it’s a packed concert, a quiet mountain view, a dog mid-river leap, or your go-to patio spot—we’re looking for photos that capture what summer really feels like around here.

📸 Enter your photos and show us your summer.
