40th Anniversary Gene Capaldi Lens on Litter Photo Contest
Since 1984, PRC has held an annual Lens on Litter Photo Contest, not to glorify litter but to bring attention to the litter problem in communities across Pennsylvania. Exposure leads to prevention! Contestants are eligible for monetary prizes up to $500. Amateur students (through 12th grade) and adults are asked to submit photos of unusual or unsightly litter in their Pennsylvania communities by the October 31st deadline. Photos should demonstrate how litter threatens public health and safety, scenic beauty, property values, the environment, pets or wildlife. Entries will be judged on six criteria: anti-litter message, originality, photographic technique, quality of photo, originality of title and severity of the litter.
Contestants are also encouraged to safely initiate a clean-up of the pictured area and provide a photo of the results of their efforts for additional judging points. Entries (limit five per person, no smaller than 4x6 and no larger than 8x10) should be sent to PRC Gene Capaldi Lens on Litter Contest, 1521 North Providence Road, Media, PA 19063. High resolution digital submissions may be sent to lensonlitter@prc.org. All entries (including digital) must include the entrant’s name, address, telephone number, email address, title given to photo, location of litter site and how they learned about the contest. Students should also include age, grade and name of school. Photos submitted without all the above will not be judged. All photos may be used by PRC at their discretion.
Questions may be directed to lensonlitter@prc.org and additional information, previous winners, sponsors and an online entry form can be found at Lens on Litter Contest - PRC
