LaRC’s 2021 ‘Connected by Earth’ Photo Contest

The LaRC Environmental Team would like to extend an invitation to LaRC personnel to join our 2021 Earth Day/Arbor Day virtual celebration by participating in our 2021 photography contest.  The winner will earn an Earth Day 2021 reusable travel tumbler as a prize!

THEME: Connected by Earth

You are encouraged to find beauty in the Earth around you — wherever you feel the most connected in your local environment (abiding by all COVID-19 orders, of course). Examples may include your own backyard, the landscapes around you, pets, home gardens, indoor plant life, or any other sanctuary. If you already dabble in photography, we’d love to see your recent work! If you’ve been interested in photography, let this be your inspiration to start! Professional photography skills not required.

If you would like to participate, read the photo contest criteria below for rules and submittal instructions.

P.S. – If you decide to go adventuring in search of a picture, please follow all applicable requirements that have been put in place to mitigate the effects of COVID-19.
