New Monthly Nature Photography Contest announced by the Vernal School

The Vernal School is excited to unveil our new monthly nature photography contest. Starting April 1st, we encourage you to discover, capture and share the dynamic beauty of nature that is found in our own back yard. 
Each month we will announce a new topic.  The public will vote on Facebook and the winning photograph will be displayed at the Visitor Center of Montour Preserve.   

How It Works:
-At the beginning of each month, we announce the theme for that month's contest.
-Photos should be locally taken.
-Contests will be held for adults (16+) and youth.  Both contests will be run the same and have the same prizes and rules.
-Participants have the 1st-15th of each month to capture and submit their photographs related to the theme.
-Submissions are accepted via Facebook by submitting the picture as a comment under the original monthly post or by emailing the photo to [email protected]. 
-All submissions should include title, subject, age of photographer (if youth), and location (if public).
-On the 16th of each month, the photos will be posted in brackets daily and the picture with the most votes will move on to the next round.
-Winners are announced at the beginning of the following month, and prizes are awarded to the top entries.
-Winner photographs may be used for the Middle Susquehanna Riverkeeper/Vernal School 2025 Nature Calendar
