Start your summer shooting now.

The South County Tourism Council will be offering $1,000 in prizes for the eight photographs that best capture the essence of Rhode Island's beautiful southern region. Photographers should consider the broad spectrum of South County life, from beaches and wildlife to wedding, events, and townscapes, as fair game. And even though summer might feel like an ideal time to be shooting towns like Charlestown and Westerly, the Council emphasizes that year-round photos are eligible and encouraged.

Put the following towns on your shoot-list: Charlestown, Coventry, East Greenwich, Exeter, Hopkinton, Narragansett, North Kingstown, Richmond, South Kingstown, Westerly and West Greenwich.
