Annual UPEC Photo Contest Underway

The annual photo contest for the Upper Peninsula Environmental Coalition is underway.

The contest is meant to recognize the beauty of the local landscape and its inhabitants through photographs.

Photos must be from the Upper Peninsula, with one submission per category per person.

The contest deadline is Friday, November 16th with winners announced in each category in the winter UPEC newsletter.

They also may be part of an on-line photo gallery and on display at the next Celebrate the UP event.

UPEC Photo Contest Rules:

You may submit one photo in each of these four categories:

1.      Nature panoramas, wildlife, and landscapes

2.    Humans engaged with the natural world

3.    Close-ups of hidden or overlooked beauty
