Categories in the Blue Ridge Parkway component include Blue Ridge Parkway Share the Journey® and Blue Ridge Parkway Vistas. Categories more generic to the southern Appalachians include Adventure, Culture, Environment, Flora/Fauna, and Landscape.

Prize packages and cash awards are generous with approximately 40 images being selected for exhibition. Awards are in 9 separate categories, which includes additional "Best in Show" and "People's Choice" awards .

The "People's Choice Award" will be determined by online voting beginning March 7.
