Deadline July 15th to submit photos for 2015 CHNEP Calendar

We live in a beautiful place and many of you have captured this beauty in your artwork, as evidenced by the calendars produced by the Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program (CHNEP) since 2005. The CHNEP is a partnership program working to protect the natural environment of Florida from Venice to Bonita Springs to Winter Haven.

We hope you will consider being a part of the 2015 calendar.

You can have your photographs and paintings published in the 2015 calendar. The CHNEP encourages you to submit up to three images that capture the beauty of the natural environment found within the CHNEP study area. The images could have been captured by the young or old, amateur or professional, today or 50 years ago, as a painting or photograph. The goal is that the 2015 calendar will depict the diversity and beauty of the natural environment found within this geographic area, which may include estuaries, rivers, streams, native plants, native wildlife, and people enjoying these resources.

To enter your images, complete the release form and submit your images by 5 p.m., July 15, 2014. There is no fee to enter. Additional guidance is provided at the link below, and at www.CHNEP.org/calendars.html. Costs of the calendar are offset by generous donations and sponsorships.
