Safety is Rule No. 1. Do not take photos while driving. We will not accept them, though please note in your submissions if they are taken with a dash cam. Absolutely no photos taken on railroad property will be accepted.
All entered photos will be reviewed by IDOT staff and narrowed down to three finalists. Entries will be judged based on originality, beauty and how impactful it is to you or your community. IDOT’s three finalists will then be displayed online and promoted on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), so the public can choose the winner by voting for their favorite. (Only one vote per person, please.)
The photo with the most votes will be the winner and displayed on IDOT’s Facebook banner for an entire month.
All entries must be submitted by emailing your digital photo to: DOT.PhotoContest@illinois.gov (from May 24 to June 7, 2024). Each participant may submit a maximum of 5 entries. Photos must be related to our contest theme of transportation in Illinois. For safety reasons, no photos taken on railroad property will be accepted. Only digital photos will be accepted and should be of optimal resolution. Mobile phone pics are perfect!
