This year, for its 16th annual photo contest, Scenic Tennessee is focusing on historic preservation. Joining the group as cosponsor is the Tennessee Preservation Trust, a longtime ally of Scenic Tennessee. Together the groups are hoping to celebrate the scenic character of Tennessee’s historic places while possibly discovering still-unknown historic resources deserving of public attention.

Suggested subjects include historic buildings such as the Friends Church in Maryville or the Ryman in Nashville; neighborhoods or districts such as Annesdale-Snowden in Memphis or Cades Cove in the Smokies; historic towns such as Jonesborough or Rugby; historic commercial or industrial sites such as the Shelbyville Railroad Station or the Harms Mill hydroelectric station in Fayetteville; and archeological sites such as the Pinson Indian Mounds in Henderson County or the Red Clay Cherokee Indian settlement near Cleveland.

Entries must be postmarked by 15 May. Visit the site for details.
