Cover of the Summer 2020 Mountain Traveler
Summer in the Northeast Georgia mountains is special, whether your favorite mountain activity is hiking on a trail, spending time on a lake or just enjoying the cool evening breezes. If you have a photograph that represents this beautiful time of year, it could be featured on the cover of The Mountain Traveler’s summer 2021 edition.
The Mountain Traveler is a full-color regional visitor and travel guide for Northeast Georgia.
Publisher Alan NeSmith invites local photographers to submit their photographic representations of spring and summer in the region. Suggested subjects could include points of interest, natural features or scenic views. Photographs including people enjoying the surroundings will be given additional consideration.
The magazine publishes the week of May 24 and will be distributed at visitor centers, chambers of commerce and retail outlets throughout the region during spring and summer.
The winner of the cover contest will receive $100.
