The 2024 Plane & Pilot photo contest has officially opened. The contest period will run through March 31, and winners will be decided by popular vote (with possible ties broken by a judging process as needed). 

There will be first, second, and third prize winners, as well as two honorable mentions selected from among the entries. Winners will be published in a special multi-spread feature in the June 2024 issue of Plane & Pilot magazine, shared on the Plane & Pilot website, and each will receive prizes from our sponsors, David Clark, Flying Eyes, Flight Outfitters, and Sporty's Pilot Shop. 

You may submit your aviation photos directly to the Plane & Pilot online gallery—and then ask your friends and family to vote (or submit their own entries). 

Please note that images involving illegal activities, photographs made by a PIC who should be focused on flying, or air-to-air images are not permissible and may be removed. For more details, visit the photo contest rules and information page

Amy Wilder is managing editor for Plane & Pilot magazine. She fell in love with airplanes at age 8 when her brother-in-law took her up in a Cessna 172. Pretty soon, Amy's bedroom walls were covered with images of vintage airplanes and she was convinced she'd be a bush pilot in Alaska one day. She became a journalist instead, which is also somewhat impractical—but with fewer bears. Now she's working on her private pilot certificate and ready to be a lifelong student of the art of flying.
