We’re looking for photography that represents the diversity of life that thrives in and along our rivers (including people) as well as the looming threats to this diversity. There are five categories: animals, plants, people, landscapes, and threats. Please note which category you are entering when you submit your photograph.

Animals – unique images of native, wild animals in river corridors. Please no photographs of your pets (we still love them though!). These photographs should demonstrate how a river’s ecosystem truly is teeming with diverse wildlife from the bugs on the bottom to the birds in the trees.

Plants – vivid photographs of native Wisconsin flora in our river corridors. We’re not just talking about showy flowers. Show us your pics of all that amazing habitat that our rivers provide!

People – heartwarming photographs of people enjoying Wisconsin’s flowing waters. Traditionally, we have received a lot of photographs that fall in this category. We have plenty of photographs of the bows of boats and people’s backs, so please knock our socks off with something truly creative.

Landscapes – breathtaking photographs of Wisconsin’s rivers that make us fall in love with them all over again.

Threats to our Rivers – unique photographs that will help us educate folks about the threats to our rivers in Wisconsin (i.e. pollution, dams/culverts, invasive species, sloppy shoreland development, etc.). Powerful pictures will include a river in them.
