Lake Superior Day is Sunday, July 15. What’s better than a July picnic on a sandy beach next to the world’s largest freshwater lake? How about leaving the beach cleaner than you found it? Keweenaw Now's new blog is celebrating our beautiful lake by inviting you to celebrate Lake Superior Day sometime during the week of July 14-22, record it with your camera and email us your best photo in one of three categories: landscape (the beauty of the lake), wildlife (if you can catch them) or responsible action (e.g., doing something to leave the beach cleaner than you found it. Or send us a photo (in one of these categories) taken on or near the lake any time this summer, from May 1 to July 31, 2007. See the updated article on Keweenaw Now for examples). Here are the rules:
1. By entering the contest, you give us permission to publish your photo on this blog with your name. Email the photo to andersm@pasty.com by July 31, 2007.
2. Email your photo as a jpeg file of 1.5 MB or less. We may publish a smaller version of the photo with a click to the larger version.
3. The photo should express a personal, environmental, economic or spiritual connection people have to Lake Superior. (Photos of local beaches ecologically connected to Lake Superior -- such as Hancock, Houghton or Chassell on the Portage Canal -- are acceptable as entries.)
4. Please send only one photo for one category (You may submit up to 3 photos if they are in different categories.)
5. Do not post your photo on the blog. Email it to us. Only the 6 best photos will be posted, two in each category. The prize is having your photo posted on the blog and announced on Keweenaw Now.
6. Professional photographers are not eligible to enter.
7. If you have questions, comment on this post.
