‘10,000 Reasons Why Photo Contest’ open!

The fourth annual 10,000 Reasons Why Photo Contest is up and running. Grab your camera and head outside, or upload your favorite photo from your local, recent adventures!

The contest is organized by the Minnesota Environmental Fund (of which FMR is a member group) to showcase images that demonstrate what Minnesotans value about their environment. Submissions may reflect your love for landscapes, farmland and working lands, plant life or animal life, weather, canoeing, camping, hiking, or biking — anything that conveys your enjoyment and appreciation of our great outdoors. Submit photos or learn more.
