We want to see your best North American eclipse photos: DPReview Editors’ Challenge: Digital Photography Review

On Monday, April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Western Mexico starting in Mazatlán and heading up into the United States and across to Newfoundland, Canada. NASA has mapped the route with times and viewing conditions for several cities. Outside the path of totality, varying degrees of a partial eclipse will be visible from most of North and Central America.
If you plan to be out and know how to photograph the event safely, we want to see your best images of the eclipse! Submit your best work by April 11, and it may be featured in an upcoming DPReview Editor’s Picks gallery on our homepage.
And fear not, readers who are not along the path. We can still enjoy our peers’ work together. Also, this is the first of many new DPReview Editor’s Challenges we have planned. So, if you’re not in North America, keep an eye out for our next challenge (or start planning a trip to Spain for Aug 12, 2026, for the next total eclipse).
How to submit your photos
Submissions are now open and you have until Thursday, April 11, 2024, to submit. User voting will begin thereafter and will help inform DPReview Editors’ Picks, but will not select them. They are one factor in our evaluation of submissions.
