Enter the 2012 Natural Lands Calendar Contest!
Calling all Photographers!
Manatee County's Natural Resources Department has been asked to provide images for the 2012 County Calendar. We are extremely excited to announce that the focus of this year's calendar will be the County's beautiful natural preserves featuring photos by YOU!
We are looking for photos which showcase the landscape, interesting features, wildlife and plants, of each property. Please send in photos that capture Manatee County's natural beauty as YOU see it. Photographs of people are absolutely encouraged too, just please be sure that they feature the County's preserves and the many great activities that happen within them.
Photos chosen in the contest will be included in the calendar and all selected photographers will be given credit for their work. The calendar is provided free to the visitors and residents of Manatee County and is a wonderful way to gain exposure for your work!
