The deadline for entries is October 31.
The purpose is not to glorify litter, but to bring awareness and to encourage residents to take steps to reduce litter blight.
Sponsored by Keep PA Beautiful, a new Before & After category has been added. To qualify for this category, clean-up efforts must be registered with Keep PA Beautiful’s Pick-Up PA Program.
Entries will be judged on six criteria; 1. anti-litter message, 2. originality, 3. photographic technique, 4. quality of photo, 5. originality of title and 6. severity of the litter.
A top prize of $500 will be awarded in each of two categories: adult and student (through Grade 12).
Four additional prizes will be awarded with second place winners receiving $250 and third place $100 for each group.
Additional prizes will be awarded in the new Before & After category to winning adult and student entries.
The photos must be taken in Pennsylvania by Commonwealth residents.
Send entries (limit five per person, no smaller than 4x6 and no larger than 8x10) to the Pennsylvania Resources Council, East Office, 1521 North Providence Road, Media, PA 19063. High resolution digital submissions may be sent to lensonlitter@prc.org, or entered via the online entry form.
