      <title>Photo Contest Open for 2027 KSTA Calendar</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Submit your photos now for the &lt;strong&gt;2027 KSTA Calendar Contest&lt;/strong&gt;!   &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The submission deadline is &lt;strong&gt;April 15&lt;/strong&gt;, and we’d love to see your best shots that showcase the Kansas Highway Patrol and Kansas Troopers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Photo Guidelines&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Photos must relate to the &lt;strong&gt;Kansas Highway Patrol or Kansas Troopers&lt;/strong&gt; (vehicles, equipment, scenes from the road, people with permission, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Historical KHP photos are welcome&lt;/strong&gt; as we celebrate KHP’s &lt;strong&gt;90th Anniversary in 2027&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Photos must be taken &lt;strong&gt;in Kansas&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Please submit &lt;strong&gt;10 photos or fewer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Digital photos only&lt;/strong&gt; (or high-quality scans of historical photos)&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Horizontal orientation&lt;/strong&gt; works best&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Use the &lt;strong&gt;highest quality setting&lt;/strong&gt; on your camera&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Good lighting is essential&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Photos from &lt;strong&gt;all seasons&lt;/strong&gt; are encouraged&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Images must be suitable for reproduction at &lt;strong&gt;8x10 or larger&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Usage &amp;amp; Permissions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
All submitted photos become the property of KSTA. By submitting, you grant permission for KSTA to use images in the calendar and other promotional materials, including the &lt;em&gt;Kansas Trooper&lt;/em&gt; magazine and the KSTA website. No reimbursement will be issued. KSTA will not sell your photos to another party.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;   &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://form.jotform.com/mary1626/ksta-photo-contest-submission-2027" target="_blank"&gt;SUBMIT YOUR PHOTOS HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Questions? Contact &lt;a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;web@kstroopers.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you for helping us showcase the history, service, and pride of Kansas Troopers!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
