Photo contest captures favorite places in N.J.

The next photo you take anywhere in New Jersey impressive enough to don a picture frame might also make its way into the New Jersey Countryside Magazine and on their Web site.

The New Jersey Office of Travel & Tourism has partnered with New Jersey Countryside for a state-wide photo contest of your favorite places in The Garden State. Selected photos will be published in New Jersey Countryside Magazine.

No one knows New Jersey better than the people who live, work and play here - the real "insiders." Send in photos of the New Jersey you know and love, along with a brief (50 words or less) description of why the places in the photo are special to you or of the memories these locations or events evoke.

Submit photos and captions, along with your full name and hometown to photonj@njcountryside.com or send them to New Jersey Countryside Magazine, Insider's View Photo Contest, 134 South Finley Avenue, Basking Ridge, 07920-1422.
