Use your camera to identify the worst examples of litter.
To focus attention on the litter problem, the Pennsylvania Resources Council (PRC) is conducting its annual Lens On Litter Photo Contest, with a deadline of October 31, 2015. In the student category, three prizes will be awarded with the first place winner receiving $1,000 cash, second place $500 and third place $250.
Examples of previous winners can be viewed at www.prc.org. The contest identifies sites, which PRC then targets for clean up through local action—be it the governing body or civic-minded organizations. In the past five years, litter has been removed from well over 300 sites.
PRC provides literature to the groups describing clean up methods. Send entries to the Pennsylvania Resources Council, 3606 Providence Road, Newtown Square, PA 19073, or submit electronically to lensonlitter@prc.org.
All entries must contain the following information on the back of the photo: entrant’s name, address, telephone number, title given to photo, location of litter site, age, school grade and school name. Photos will not be returned and will become the property of PRC.
Program sponsors have included: AAA Mid-Atlantic, Inc. Sheetz, Inc. and Wawa Inc. For further information, or if you are interested in becoming a member or making a contribution, call the Pennsylvania Resources Council at 610-353-1555.
