PRC Lens On Litter Contest Winners

The Pennsylvania Resources Council today announced the winners of its annual "Lens on Litter" photo contest. The winning photos were received from all over the state.
The objective of the contest is to focus public attention on the problems of litter. Besides being unsightly, litter attracts rodents and insects that carry and spread disease. In addition, farm animals, pets and wildlife often ingest poisonous matter and harmful items.
Contest entries were placed into two categories – school children and adults. Judging was conducted at PRC’s Environmental Living Center in Newtown Square, Delaware County.
In the “School Children Category,” the winner of the $1,000 first place cash prize was 17-year-old Alexander Rothera of Springfield. His photo, “Too Much Tin in Tinicum”, was taken at the Tinicun Wildlife Refuge. The photo (above) depicts discarded cans floating in the water at the Refuge.
Other winning photos will be posted on PRC's website. (Click here to see the two first place winners and the entire announcement.)
