Fifth Annual Nature Photography Contest

Posted

ALL AGES!

The Seekonk Public Library, in partnership with the Seekonk Land Conservation Trust, invite you to submit your digital photos of the beautiful, natural public spaces in town from September 3rd – September 23rd. The goal of our fifth annual Nature Photography Contest is to digitally preserve Seekonk’s natural spaces and ecology in concert with existing efforts to conserve the town’s natural beauty. Selected photos will be uploaded to a public Flickr gallery to share views of Seekonk’s landscape and wildlife, creating a digital walking tour of the preserved spaces in town.

The Contest
The Seekonk Nature Photography Contest is open to photographers of all ages, with categories for Children (through grade 5), Teens (grades 6-12), and Adults. Amateurs and professionals alike are welcome! Photos must be submitted electronically by using the entry form at seekonkpl.org/photo.
