BALDWIN, WI – Share your love of nature and help others appreciate it too by entering the Nature Photography Contest sponsored by the Botany Belles and Beaus Garden Club (BBBGC). Submitted photos are displayed on Main Street during Baldwin’s Chili Fest (September 28) and Chili Fest attendees vote for their favorite in each category. The winning photographer in each category receives B-W Chamber Bucks which are good at many local businesses.
This year’s categories are:
- Birds, Bugs, and Beasts (wildlife, not pets)
- Edibles (Fruits, Fungi, Veggies)
- Landscapes
- Plant Portraits (flowers or foliage)
- Sunrise/Sunset
- Youth (ages 16 and under). Youth may enter up to three photos of anything found in nature.
With phones at the ready or digital cameras, the entry process is simple. Email your digital photos in jpeg format to bbbgardenclub@gmail.com by Sunday, Sept. 22, 2024. The following information must be submitted with emailed entries: Name and contact information (phone number), the category the picture is entered in and a caption for the photo. Youth just need to include their age and a caption for each photo. Full contest rules are available on the Botany Belles & Beaus Facebook page and webpage (botanybellesbeaus.org) or at the Baldwin and Woodville Public Libraries.
