The Nature Conservancy is sponsoring the Prairie Photo Contest to celebrate the Federal Duck Stamp contest which will be held in Minnesota this year.

The Prairie Photo contest calls for digital photos of native prairie land in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota.  From the press release I received:

The Conservancy’s Prairie Photo Contest is open to all photographers at least 18 years of age. Final judging will occur on October 16, 2008, at the Bloomington Art Center, 1800 West Old Shakopee Rd., Bloomington, Minn. Cash prizes will be awarded, with a top prize of $250. The top ten photographs will be displayed at the Center and at other renowned local galleries. Photographs must be from a site in Minnesota, North Dakota or South Dakota, and represent prairie habitat and/or species that are native to the respective state.
