Purple Lens Photography invites amateur photographers to capture what South Carolina means to them! From historic landmarks and small towns to wildlife, landscapes, backroads, architecture, and everyday moments, we want to see the Palmetto State through your lens. Entry is completely FREE, and photographers retain all ownership and rights to their photographs. Whether you're just beginning your photography journey or have been shooting for years as a hobbyist, this is your opportunity to share your view of South Carolina and showcase the beauty, history, and character of the state—one photograph at a time.
