Photo contest calls for iconic images of water

Posted

Starting on August 1, the Whatcom Watersheds Information Network (WWIN) will be hosting a water-themed photo contest, which ends on September 30. Entries are encouraged to be submitted to any of the following five categories: Favorite Water Spot, Working for Water, People Having Fun, Seasons of Water and – newly added in 2019 – Best Water Festival Experience.

Water resource educator Sue Blake said the contest is being held as part of an annual celebration of Whatcom Water Week, which takes place from September 14 to 22.

“Water touches our lives in so many different ways,” said Blake. “It’s a time for us to pause and think about it. We’re really lucky to have lots of marine waters, lakes and streams.”

Multiple entries are permitted. All photos need to be taken in Whatcom County, although photographers need not be from the area. Local prizes will be awarded to winners.

Full contest rules can be read online at whatcomwaterweeks.org/photo-contest.
