The Iowa Department of Transportation is inviting all to enter their Transportation Photo Contest in any or all of 22 categories. Entries are due by Feb. 2, 2026. Send up to 20 Iowa transportation digital pictures across 22 categories. You may submit a maximum of 20 pictures with a connection to Iowa transportation. Only digital photos will be accepted and should be at the highest resolution possible. (If you encounter submission issues with the digital form, this application form and digital images can be emailed to Allison.Smyth@iowadot.us. )
Your safety is important. Any photos that appear to be taken while driving will not be accepted. Photos from dash cams will be accepted as long as that is noted on the form. No photos taken on railroad property will be accepted.
