The Center reserves the right to retain electronic copies for future publication, use on website, Facebook, and other social media, or for public exhibition, but the photographer retains the copyright to the image.
The Center also reserves the right to disqualify any photographs deemed dangerous in content.
Prizes are $750 for first place, $500 for second place, and $250 for third place. Entries receiving a “judges also liked” designation will receive a one-year subscription to Railroad Heritage magazine.
