NVCT'S NEARBY NATURE PHOTO CONTEST
From March 22 to April 22, 2025, we welcomed submissions from any amateur or hobbyist photographers, including Northern Virginia's youth. The photographers who entered their images into our contest displayed 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. Thank you to everyone who participated! All submissions will be displayed in a gallery this summer and participants will be invited to a reception to celebrate their work! See more about the reception here.
