GreenFocus — Earth Day 2008

NMF’s Earth Day 2008 photo contest is being held in the State of Maryland. Students enrolled in a Maryland public high school in September 2007 are eligible to submit photographs that illustrate our theme of “Seasons in Nature”. Photographs can be submitted in one of the following categories:

  • Water (Oceans, Rivers, Lakes, Streams, etc.)
  • Forest or Mountain
  • Field or Countryside
  • Black and White Photo (of any nature scene)
For Example: Colorful fall foliage in a forest; a field of spring flowers; a sunny beach in the summer; a black and white photo of a tree covered in snow. People and animals can appear in your photo; however, the focus on the photo must be nature, such as a child finding seashells at the beach.

The Grand Prize winner will receive $300 and an additional $200 will be donated to that student’s school. The first place winner for each category will receive $125. Winners will be formally recognized at the Maryland Department of the Environment on April 18, 2008.
