The Friends of the St. Clair River (FOSCR) community group have launched their 2024 community photo contest in hopes of capturing captivating images of the St. Clair River and raising awareness on the efforts to restore the natural conditions of this important waterway.

“Celebrating Recovery on the St. Clair” is the theme for this year's photography contest. 

The contest is open to all amateur photographers living in the St. Clair River watershed in both Canada and the United States. 

Contestants may submit a maximum of three photographs. Contest categories are:

• “Nature and Wildlife” – a focus on the St. Clair River’s natural features: water, flora, fish and wildlife.
• “Youth (Under 18)” – may include any activity, scenic view, people, buildings, etc. related to, along, in, under, or from the St. Clair River.
• “Digital Perspectives” – an opportunity for digital editors to add an artistic touch and present a new perspective of the St. Clair River.

The contest closes Friday, November 1, 2024. 

A panel of judges will select the winning photos and cash prizes totaling $3,000 will be awarded. 

All photographs are to be submitted via the FOSCR by way of the following email address: rapcoordinator@scrca.on.ca. All entries must include the photographer’s name, address, phone number, and the name of the contest category. File size cannot exceed 5 megabytes. Photographs are to have been taken in 2024. Photographers will receive credit for photos used in FOSCR and Binational Public Advisory Council (BPAC) materials to promote greater public awareness of environmental conditions on the St. Clair River.
