For this contest you must have a Flickr account. Beginning accounts (up to 200 photos) are free.
(Note that there is no specified date for the photo to have been taken by so you could scan an old vacation photo if it is a National Historic Landmark.)
Here are the Rules as they were sent to me by Flickr Contact "National Register":
