Lake Erie photo contest announced 

The Ohio Lake Erie Commission’s 33rd annual “Life on Lake Erie” photo contest is an opportunity for Ohioans to capture and showcase the unique beauty, wildlife, communities and vibrant life surrounding all the wonder that Lake Erie has to offer. 

The photo contest invites photographers to submit up to five images that represent the essence of Life on Lake Erie – whether that’s a scenic capture of the Great Lake Erie, its wildlife, recreation activities or events. Through unique perspectives, the contest highlights the lake’s environmental significance and raises awareness to help preserve, protect and promote the preservation of Lake Erie. 

Entries will be judged based on relevancy to the theme, creativity and visual quality and composition. Prizes will be awarded to the top entries and photographs will be featured on the Ohio Lake Erie website, social channels and at partner venues. 

Submissions for the photo contest are due by July 31. Participants can submit up to five photographs for consideration. Each photo should be submitted as a high-resolution digital file along with a completed entry form and submitted to lakeeriecommission@lakeerie.ohio.gov.
