Need just a little more time to pick a favorite photo or two for the contest? Good news...we've agreed to extend the deadline to April 14th. Let's face it - we're do-gooders at heart and want to give everyone who wishes the chance to participate. But that date is final!
Blue Earth invites amateur and professional photographers to engage the power of photographic storytelling by announcing our Spring 2012 Blue Earth Photo Contest.
Our work at Blue Earth is based on the belief that a dramatic image can change our perception and alter our understanding of a subject. This idea defines our mission to raise awareness about endangered cultures, threatened environments, and critical social concerns through photography.
Blue Earth helps photographers educate the public and motivate society to make positive change - we invite contest entries that exemplify our mission and the power of photographic storytelling.
Entries will be judged by a panel of jurors, all professionals in the photographic field, on the criteria of quality, creativity, and visual narrative. The 1st place winner will receive $500, gear donated by Think Tank Photo, free admission to our 2-day, 2012 photoworkshop, and inclusion in the Blue Earth "Honors" gallery.
