Mark Your Calendar for Nature Photography Contest

Seekonk, MA – 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 September 3rd through 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 Seekonk Nature Photography Contest is open to photographers of all ages, with categories for Children (through grade 5), Teens (grade 6-12), and Adults. Amateurs and professionals alike are welcome! Photos must be submitted electronically by using the entry form at seekonkpl.org/photo. Photos must be taken at one of the public spaces listed below, and feature images of wildlife, plant life, natural landscapes, weather, or any other aspect of nature (no pets or portraits):

Qualified natural spaces for contest
• Allens Ave
• Caratunk Wildlife Refuge

Nine finalists, three in each category, will receive a mounted print of their photo.
Three winners, one from each category, will have their photo featured prominently in the online gallery and receive an Amazon Gift card (value $25).
