Scavenger Hunt 2026

2025 Gateway Scavenger Photographic Hunt Guidelines

·      We have compiled a list of approx. 300 photo prompts, each designed to challenge your creative eye and photographic interpretation
·      This is not a competition. It’s a scavenger hunt!
·      However, there will be a “soon-to-be-valuable” cash prize and trophy awarded at our end-of-year party to the photographer(s) successful in hunting down the most scavenger items in excess of 100 images
·      You may hunt for fresh photos or sift through your stash of past pristine images—who knows what forgotten gems you may unearth there—but we strongly suggest you shoot for at least a 50-50 split
·      One photo per photo prompt
·      Even though images will not be judged, we encourage you to let your keen creative and photographic instincts shine through
·      All manner of photo recording devices are expressly permitted
·      AI generated images, however, are strictly taboo
·      The main criteria for the scavenger hunt is for you to have FUN, FUN, FUN!
·      The window for entries closes Sunday, May 17^th at 11:59pm... that’s four months of fun!
·      Creators of the scavenger hunt — Alan Squared + Mary — though not eligible to win the grand prize are under a self-imposed “must compete” clause

Submission instructions:

·      Naming convention: Title each image with the appropriate “photo prompt” (ex: Big sky.jpg, rocky road.jpeg)
·      Image Size: Please resize images as you would for Club competitions: For landscape images maximum width 1920 (hor) pixels, for portrait images maximum height 1080 (vert) pixels.  
·      Where to enter images: Log on to GCC website, got to “My Account”, then to “My Galleries” where you will see “A Scavenger Hunt”. There you can upload your images, follow your progress, and view the images in the gallery. 

Ok, fire up those cameras and let the hunt begin!
