Inyo County Amateur Photo Contest

The 2026 Inyo County Amateur Photo Contest hosted by the Lone Pine Chamber of Commerce

August 1st – October 31st, 

Last year we had a great turnout for the event, with lots of photos submitted. Most of the photos were scenic; landscapes, inanimate objects, clouds, flowers, rocks, etc. This year we want pictures of “Life in Inyo County – People, Places, things”, capturing people living life doing what people do in Inyo county.
