Photo Contest

This year the Photo Contest will run from May 1 to November 1, 2024. It will be open to all active MOS members and you don’t need to attend the Convention to win. The prizes have increased to $500, $300 and $100. Winners will be announced at the Convention where their winning photos will be displayed as large prints. They will also be posted full screen on the MOS website until the next Convention. Check out the photo contest page for more information.

Congratulations to the winners of the 2023 MOS Convention Photo Contest!
