The Chesapeake Bay Foundation 2019 Save The Bay Photo Contest will be accepting entries from March 11 to April 5.

Open to both amateur and professional photographers, CBF's annual Photo Contest highlights the beauty and character of the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed rivers and streams through the eyes of those who enjoy them.

CBF is seeking photographs that illustrate the positive aspects of the Bay and the rivers and streams throughout the its watershed.

Images depicting people, wildlife, recreation, and farms within the watershed will all be considered, however all photos must include water from the Chesapeake Bay or a river, stream, creek, or other body of water inside the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

Winners will receive awards for: First Prize: $500; Second Prize: $250; Third Prize: $150; and Viewers' Choice: $100.

In addition, the first-prize photograph will appear in CBF's 2020 calendar. And that's not all:  All winners will also receive a one-year membership to CBF and will have their photos displayed on CBF's website, in a CBF e-newsletter, and in CBF's Save the Bay magazine.

[Note: Pennsylvania hasn’t had a winner in the top 4 in the last 3 years and we make up most of the watershed!  We can do better!]
