This Lake Matters:
We all have a special lake. Maybe you have a cabin next to it, maybe it’s in the city and you visit it all the time, or maybe you’ve only been there once but your memories are fond. Whatever your reason, we want to know what lake matters to you and why.
How the This Lake Matters Contest works:
Photographs and videos (the “Images”) will be collected from May 13 through September 6, 2010. All submissions must legibly include the words “This Lake Matters,” and feel free to get creative! After September 6, we’ll pick 5 finalist Images. When making our selections, we’ll consider the number of Flickr comments. To become a finalist, the photographer or videographer may need to submit, if requested, an Image release and a release with the signatures of all subjects in the Image. If the contestant or subjects are under 18, their parent or legal guardian must sign Conservation Minnesota’s release. You must agree to all terms and conditions to be eligible.
The finalist Images will be posted on our website. Web visitors will then have a chance to vote for their favorite finalist Image (photograph or video) from September 15 through September 30. The finalist Image (photograph or video) with the most votes will be awarded a Flip Camera.
