Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
The Watershed Foundation announced the launch of its annual "Picture Your Watershed" photo contest.
Capture the breathtaking beauty of the land and lakes within the upper Tippecanoe River watershed through your camera lens. This is your chance to share your perspective, your moments of peace and your connection to this environment, according to a news release from TWF.
"Our photo contest embraces the spirit of community, inviting all photographers to send in their cherished snapshots. From the mesmerizing ripples on the lakes to the tranquil shores, every click tells a story of our shared love for this haven," said Jennifer Romano, communications coordinator for TWF.
Remember, your photographic masterpiece should be set within the upper Tippecanoe River watershed, stretching from Crooked Lake in Whitley County to Tippecanoe River downstream of Warsaw. This expanse includes more than 60 lakes and the land surrounding them in Noble, Whitley and Kosciusko counties.
"We are yearning to see photos that truly capture the essence and splendor of our cherished watershed. It's awe-inspiring to witness our community's talents through their camera lenses, showcasing the serenity and joy they discover within our expansive watershed," Romano said.
The calendar pages are turning, the summer days are waning and the deadline to enter is Dec. 31. In January, you're also invited to help choose the People's Choice award-winning photo. Awards will also be presented in several categories, including:
• Lovin’ the Lakes: People engaged in lake activities – tubing, swimming, walking along the shore, etc.
• Wet ‘n’ Wildlife: Animals and wildlife
• Nature’s Studio: Landscapes and watery reflections
• Pollution Solutions: Capturing volunteer efforts and the fixes that protect our lakes
• Memories of the Lakes: Vintage photos of life and loved ones at local lakes
