Goose Pond FWA photo contest

The 2010 Goose Pond photo calendar contest is underway. Organized by the not-for-profit Friends of Goose Pond group, it runs until June 30.

When it comes to diversity of flora and fauna, few places in Indiana compare to Goose Pond Fish and Wildlife Area. Professional and amateur photographers are eligible to compete.

All entries must be photos taken at Goose Pond FWA during the past two years and be original work of the entrant. Each contestant may enter a maximum of three photos. Entries can be in color or black and white. Photos must be at least 600 dpi, and all photos must be submitted in jpeg format. Maximum file size per photo attachment is 5.5 megs. Limited image modifications are permitted. Manipulation should only be used to sharpen or produce a more natural looking photograph. Cropping is allowed but any other color modifications, or the addition of any elements not existing in the original scene will not be allowed.

For a complete list of rules, see www.clcinfo.org/greene_schedule.php. Maps and additional information about the Goose Pond Fish and Wildlife Area are available at http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/3094.htm.

Each photo must be accompanied by a caption with the photographer's name and a number identification. Finalists will be notified by Sept. 30.
