NVCT'S NEARBY NATURE PHOTO CONTEST
It's once again time for NVCT's Nearby Nature Photo Contest! From Earth Day, April 22, - May 22, 2024, we welcomed submissions from anyone with a camera, including Northern Virginia's youth. The photographers who entered their images into our contest display a love of nature and an appreciation of how photography can inspire people to care about the life and land of the outdoors and to work passionately for their protection.
Prizes awarded for first place in these categories:
-
People in the Outdoors - These photos should include people out and enjoying nature.
-
Spring Renewal - Spring renewal is finding animals in the early stages of life or flowers in bloom.
-
Streams, Creeks, and Water- This category may be the most obvious. Water creates and sustains life, and we would like for you to capture its beauty.
-
Smartphone Snaps- Any beautiful nature photo you capture with your smartphone should be submitted to this category.
