First, did you know that Arizona had a wine region?  It has most everything else, mountains, deserts, canyons, grasslands, major cities, might as well have a wine region too.  Arizona’s Verde Valley Wine Trail encompasses four wineries in a very beautiful and very photogenic region of the state, the Verde Valley.  The wineries on the trail are the Page Springs Winery, Javelina Leap Winery, Oak Creek Vineyards all in Cornville, AZ and the Alcantara Vineyards in VerdeValley, AZ.

The photo contest is sponsored by the Cottonwood Chamber of Commerce and has a theme of “On the Verde Valley Wine Trail.”  Your goal in shooting should be to capture the essence of the Verde Valley wine country.  Photographs of the vineyards, the fields, the wine makers, wine tasting and wine connoisseurs are all game for this contest.  One thing to note is that you have to be over 21 to enter because what better prize for a winery photo contest than wine!
