About "A Greener Apple" Photo Contest

In celebration of our new blog, U.S. EPA Region 2 is inviting you to participate in our first photography contest, "A Greener Apple." The topic is, “What does sustainability look like in New York City?” Pick your best work, submit your photos here, and have a chance at some exposure and recognition on our blog, "Greening the Apple." Photography is story-telling. Share your stories with the rest of us. Your deadline is midnight, August 12th, 2011 (EST).

You might ask, “What is sustainability?” For our purposes here, sustainability incorporates strategies, events, and procedures that meet society’s present needs without compromising the needs for future generations. Sustainable development can be facilitated by policies that integrate environmental, economic, and social values in decision making. This topic is meant to be broad—a way to link your life and what you see to your own definition of sustainability. In other words, how do you see New York City’s connection to the environment?

The winner will have his or her photo featured as part of EPA's “Photo Friday” blog post on “Greening the Apple.” EPA will not pay a monetary prize or provide any other item of value to the winners. By submitting photos for this contest, entrants acknowledge that they will not receive monetary prizes or other compensation.

By submitting photos, you give the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) permission to use them for non-profit governmental purposes, including but not limited to environmental education and awareness. By posting your work, you grant EPA irrevocable permission to copy, distribute, make derivatives, display or perform the commenter’s work publicly and free-of-charge. However, where reasonable, we will give you credit for the photos.
-By submitting photos you agree to the terms listed above-
