Cottage Magazine

Submit your favourite photos of life at the cottage for your chance to be a published photographer! Winners from all categories (People, Places, Nature, Cottage Life) will be published in the May/June 2012 issue of Cottage, and early next year we'll have an online vote as to which photo will be on the cover.

All entries should be sent to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , and include information on the photo (where it was taken, who is in it, etc.), the name of the photographer and how we can best contact you if you're a winner! Please note that photos should be of high enough resolution to print, so make sure the file size of each picture is at least 1 MB. There is no limit to the number of entries that one person or family may submit, but if you are submitting multiple entries, please ensure photo and photographer information is included for each picture.

The deadline for submissions is February 15, 2012. Good luck!

Each issue, Cottage publishes a Q&A with home improvement expert and TV and radio personality Shell Busey. If you have a question you'd like to ask Shell, send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
