"Picture the Solution" Photo and Essay Contest
Barbara Stanton Environmental Award of Excellence
|
Each
year, MEC offers a photo and essay contest, co-sponsored
by the Detroit Free Press, to raise awareness of environmental
problems and possible solutions. Contestants are asked
to discover inventive ways to help make the world a
better, cleaner place and document these ideas in a
photograph and short essay of no more than 200 words.
The Barbara Stanton Award of Excellence is named for
Barbara Stanton, a retired Free Press editorial writer
and champion of the environment.
First, second and third place winners of each age group
(8-13, 14-18 and 19+) will win cash prizes of $500,
$250 and $100, respectively. Their photo and essay will
be placed in the Sunday edition of the Free Press.
Photo and essay entries are to be postmarked no later
than Friday, May 7 and sent to Amber Shinn at the Michigan
Environmental Council, 119 Pere Marquette, Suite 2A,
Lansing, MI 48912; or emailed to ambermec@voyager.net.
We accept original photographs only. E-mailed images
with a resolution lower than 300 dpi won't be considered.
Entries are judged by a panel from MEC and the Free
Press. By entering, all winners agree to allow MEC unlimited
use of image and essay.
