With summer vacations to the Lakes just around the corner, the sixth annual Great Lakes Forever Photo Contest is accepting submissions from May 20 – July 18, 2010. Through the 2010 Great Lakes Forever Photo Contest, photographers can help defend the Great Lakes with their cameras—and get noticed throughout the Great Lakes region.

Biodiversity Project’s Great Lakes Forever program has again partnered with Budweiser to sponsor a photography contest that celebrates the beauty of the Great Lakes through the incredible talent of local photographers. Great Lakes Forever is a non-profit education and activism campaign designed to raise awareness about our vulnerable and valuable Lakes.

We are looking for striking images of the Great Lakes that show what an awesome resource they are and their  relationship with people and nature. These images may show wildlife, Great Lakes landscapes, weather or people enjoying the Great Lakes. Previously published material may be entered; however, please include information on when
and where the photo appeared.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then these photos can make a powerful statement on behalf of our Great Lakes.

We look forward to seeing your photos!
