Fyi for anyone interested the Campaign for America's Wilderness is currently holding a photo contest associated with the upcoming 45th anniversary of the passage of the Wilderness Act, which established the National Wilderness Preservation System. (See below.)
Just remember the photos have to be taken within an already designated federally wilderness area (not a state park, nature center, non-wilderness national forest lands, etc., etc.). I think it would be cool if they ended up using a photo from an eastern wilderness area! All the wilderness areas in the NWPS can be found here: http://www.wilderness.net Kirk Johnson http://www.leaveitwild.org WILDERNESS PHOTO CONTEST Help Celebrate the Wilderness Act¹s 45th Anniversary -- In Pictures The Winning Photo Will Become a Poster! The Wilderness Act turns 45 years old in September, and to celebrate the Campaign for America¹s Wilderness is calling on wilderness photographers around the nation to send in a favorite image they¹ve taken of a federal wilderness area. The best photo, as judged by our crack staff, will become a limited edition 45th Anniversary poster, and the photographer will receive an autographed copy of Doug Scott¹s new book, Our Wilderness: America¹s Common Ground <http://www.ourwilderness.org/> . Submission guidelines: Limit two (2) photos per person. We¹re especially partial to photos of people enjoying the wilderness, but appreciate wildlife and scenery, too. Poster-quality images should measure 3600 x 5400 pixel resolution or 150 dpi @ 24² x 36². Photographers should send low resolution copies (under 2 MB) of their wilderness photo to [email protected]. Please include a brief description of the scene (name of river, peak, mountain range, etc.), the name of the wilderness area, your e-mail address and contact information. The deadline for entry is August 21, 2009 If you have any questions, please e-mail the Campaign at [email protected]. > Ents, > > Here's a link to some photographs taken on the trip described in my > last post, plus a few from nearby Fort Mountain State Park.
