Capturing the Beauty of Nature
Photography Contest
Duration: January – August (Biennially)
LICA hosts a photography contest biennially, in even-numbered years, featuring two categories: Adult (17+), and Youth (16 & under). Entrants are required to capture photos within the LICA region, as they are meant to represent the Beaver River Watershed where we operate and reside. A panel of judges, composed of a professional photographer, and volunteers from LICA’s Board of Directors and Education & Outreach Committee evaluates each submission based on various parameters. The contest recognizes first, second, and third-place winners, each receiving a framed copy of their photo and a cash prize.
