The rules, short form
Photographs must be yours, made at a coast, with the journey to it documented in the entry. No composites. No generated images. Captions in your own words. Winners grant LostCoasts a one-year editorial license; the copyright never moves.
$35 per single-image entry. $85 per series. Entry fees fund the prize and the ceremony. One title sponsor, named on this page, never on the photographs.
