We're going to publish a calendar/day planner in 2009, and your photo could be one of the special few chosen.

We're looking for a mix of nature landscape, heritage and family-friendly “people photos.” They can spotlight any season of the year. All photos must be taken on, or involve, the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests and its plant and animal life. We especially are looking for photos of ForestWatch members and local residents of Georgia visiting or engaging in appropriate recreation of our special forestlands.

The contest is being judged by Honor Woodard of Lakemont, Georgia, artist and former picture editor for Outdoor Explorer, Backpacker and Sports Illustrated magazines. Photographers whose work is selected for the calendar will receive appropriate recognition and accolades, not to mention wider exposure for their work.
