ERM Announces 2nd Annual Lake Worth Lagoon Photo Contest

For immediate release: June 2, 2016
Contact: Jennifer Baez, 561-233-2424 JBaez1@pbcgov.org

Palm Beach County’s Department of Environmental Resources Management (ERM) invites the public to participate in the second annual Lake Worth Lagoon photo contest. Photographers of all skill levels and ages are encouraged to submit their best photos of the county’s largest estuary for a chance to have them featured in the 2017 Lake Worth Lagoon calendar.

To help showcase the lagoon’s environmental, recreational and economic value, ERM is seeking photographs of a variety of subjects including landscapes, underwater, wildlife and people. Images may be entered into a general or youth category.

Submissions must be received by July 15, and all images must have been taken within the boundaries of Lake Worth Lagoon, which extends approximately 20 miles from North Palm Beach to Ocean Ridge. Each photographer may submit up to five digital images in accordance with the contest rules and will need to provide a completed entry form which includes a release.

The 2017 Lake Worth Lagoon calendar will be distributed free of charge while supplies last on Saturday, Nov. 12, at the third annual LagoonFest. This family-friendly celebration of the lagoon will be held next to the West Palm Beach GreenMarket on South Flagler Drive along the downtown waterfront.

For complete contest details, including additional guidelines and submission methods, visit www.LagoonFest.com and select the “Photo Contest Rules and Entry Form” under “Photo Contest.” Additional questions about the photo contest may be emailed to ERM-LagoonFest@pbcgov.org.

Thanks for the mention Lynn. I was honored to be July the first year plus 4 other photos used throughout the calendar. It's exciting to see the photos printed. I encourage everyone to submit photos.
