The Schuylkill Action Network invited the public to vote for their favorite photos in the Schuylkill Shots Competition photo contest.  Voting closes December 15.

A panel of judges affiliated with the Schuylkill Action Network has selected 30 finalists from almost 150 entries.  These are divided into three categories.  They are Fun on the Schuylkill, Tip-Top-Tap, and Wild and Scenic.

“More than 40 photographers entered our first-ever contest,” said Tom Davidock, SAN coordinator at the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary.  “Their work will help us show others just how great the Schuylkill River really is.”

Those with the most votes in each category will win a $300 gift card provided by contest sponsors, which include Calumet Photography, the Philadelphia Water Department, and REI. 

Other prizes include $100 gift cards for second place and $50 gift cards for honorable mention.  Winning images will also appear in a traveling exhibit next year in celebration of the SAN’s 10-year anniversary. 

One of the locations planned is the new River of Revolutions Interpretive Center, which opened on Oct. 22 beside the Schuylkill River in Pottstown.

The SAN launched the Schuylkill Shots Competition last July.  It did so to draw attention to the river’s beauty, drinking water, recreation, wildlife habitat and more.
