Shoot litter with your camera for cash prizes
Use your camera to identify the worst examples of litter in your Pennsylvania community by participating in the Pennsylvania Resources Council’s 27th annual Lens On Litter Photo Contest, open for submissions until Oct. 31.
The contest is open to amateur photographers only. Contestants will be divided into two classes: school-age children and adults. Eight prizes, four to each group, will be awarded with first-place winners receiving $1,000 in cash; second place, $500; third place, $250; and The People’s Choice Award of a digital camera.
Nearly 70 percent of the state counties were represented last year. The contest identifies sites, which PRC then targets for clean up through local action. In the past five years, litter has been removed from more than 300 sites.
Send entries (limit three per person) to:
Pennsylvania Resources Council
3606 Providence Road

All entries must contain information on the back of the photo: entrant’s name, address, telephone number, title given to photo and location of litter site. For school-age children, the school grade and school name must be provided. Photos will not be returned and will become the property of PRC.
For more information, call PRC at (610) 353-1555.
