Marshall County Conservation will be holding the annual photo contest with deadline for entries at midnight on Jan. 31.

Calling all amateur photographers to capture the beauty of Marshall County’s natural resources!

Each year the MCCB holds an annual natural resource/conservation resource photo contest.  This contest is open to amateur photographers who love to catch nature at its finest.  Pictures can be any thing  from a child catching their first fish, wood duck ducklings emerging from a nest box, or the sun setting over a prairie.

Categories for adults:

• Outdoor Recreation (NEW)
• Scenic (Natural Resources)
• Native Plants
• Native Wildlife
• Open Nature  – has to be nature related but does not have to be taken in Marshall County

There is a special open class for youth age 14 or younger.

Entries will be judged by a professional photographer and one $20 gift certificate will be awarded to the winning photo for each category.
