Oh, the glory of a North Carolina autumn! The colors, flavors, events…everything about this season brings out the inner photographer in us all. As you explore all the seasonal things our state has to offer, we invite you to join our “Capture Your Carolina Fall” Photo Challenge!
We have six weeks of autumn-themed prompts to inspire your photography.
Week 1, 10/11: Orange
Week 2, 10/18: Wildlife
Week 3, 10/25: Trails
Week 4, 11/1: History
Week 5, 11/8: Leaves
Join the challenge by sharing your fall photos on social using the hashtag #CaptureCarolinaFall. We will post the next week’s prompt each Friday through Nov. 8 and share our favorites on Instagram @ncculture.
