"Picture
the Solution" emphasizes answers to environmental problems
|
Has
your city, county or township found a creative way to
combat an environmental problem? Have your friends or
neighbors come up with something innovative to make
your part of the world a better, cleaner place to live?
If
so, we want everyone to see it.
"Picture
the Solution" is a photo-essay contest co-sponsored
by the Michigan Environmental Council and the Detroit
Free Press to raise public awareness of new solutions
for environmental problems. What to do? Send us an 8
x 10 photo, with a typed caption (maximum 150 words)
explaining why what's going on in the picture makes
the environment better. Participants should think broadly
about environmental challenges facing their community,
including but not limited to air and water pollution,
health impacts, traffic, sprawl, trash, blight and more.
Winners,
who will be notified by May 25, will be chosen in three
age categories: 8-13, 14-18 and 19-plus. Prizes include
cash ($50 - $1,000) and the Barbara Stanton Environmental
Award of Excellence, named for the recently retired
Detroit Free Press editorial writer.
Entries
need to be mailed by May 12, and they must include your
name, address, telephone number, age, school (if applicable),
e-mail address (if available) and the typewritten caption.
Send photos and entries to:
