If you have a spare picture or two of Minnesota’s beautiful natural environs, consider submitting it to the Minnesota Environmental Fund’s 10,000 Reasons Why photo contest:
Images may show natural landscapes, farmland and working lands, wildlife, plant life, weather, people interacting with nature, or an image that reflects your environmental values…
Images must be accompanied by a statement (less that 30 words) that describes how the image submitted represents the reason you choose to protect Minnesota’s environment.
The deadline for submission is June 21. You can submit photos either via email or Flickr (use Flickr!). The contest is being sponsored by REI, which I believe will be donating prizes. More information, rules, etc. are available on the MEF Web site. Let me know if you have submit a photo or if you have any questions.
The MEF is a great organization that essentially collects money from citizens through workplace giving campaigns and distributes the funds to several worthy causes around the state. They are a significant source of funding for many of Minnesota’s shining stars of conservation.
Full disclosure: I assisted MEF in setting up certain components of the contest. I am also on the board of a non-profit organization that receives funds from MEF.
