This contest ends on August 15, 2025.

Rules: All photos entered in the 2025 Black Belt Road Trip Photo Contest MUST INCLUDE PEOPLE and must be taken in the Black Belt’s 23-county footprint. Selfies or family photos taken in front of an attraction’s sign are welcome.
- The winners of the contest are selected exclusively through online voting.
- Participants must fully complete the online form with the necessary information, including person (or persons) in the photo and the county where the photo was taken.
- Participants may submit multiple photos, but only one photo per activity or attraction (i.e. camping, hiking, canoeing, birding, dining, art class, festival, Rosa Parks Museum, etc.). All photos become the property of ALBBAA and may be used for promotional purposes.
- Visitors to the contest webpage are restricted to voting once per day, per e-mail, per IP address. In the case of any dispute, the decision of ALBBAA officials is final.
The ALBBAA reserves the right to approve or disapprove of a submitted photo. Cause for disqualification of a photo can include, but is not limited to, the following:
- The photo content presents the subject in an unethical or disrespectful manner.
- The photo content is perceived to cast a negative perception of the Black Belt, especially if it reflects unfavorably on management of wildlife.
- A voting violation which imposes an unfair advantage to others.
Again, please note all photos MUST INCLUDE PEOPLE. Selfies or family photos taken in front of an attraction’s sign are welcome.
