Enter Your Photos of North Carolina's Hidden Treasures in Contest

North Carolina's natural wonders are known world-wide – Jockey's
Ridge, the Blue Ridge Mountains, our lakes and rivers, and more are
renowned for their beauty. But we're also blessed with scores of
hidden treasures – parks, gamelands, trails, creeks and other outdoor
places that are just as inviting but not nearly as famous.

Land for Tomorrow invites amateur photographers and artists to submit
their photographs and illustrations of these special places for our
"Hidden Treasures" contest.

Submission must be original depictions of publicly accessible natural
lands – gamelands, parks, greenways, rivers, etc. Wildlife may be
included and images that include people enjoying these areas are
encouraged.

Images may be submitted from March 27 through April 24 via one of the
following:

• Facebook as a message with an attachment: http://www.facebook.com/L4TNC
;
• Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/l4tnc/;
• Email: land4tomorrow@gmail.com; or
• Pinterest: http://www.pinterest.com/land4tomorrow (send us the link
to the image you'd like us to pin via email or Facebook message)
Additional details will be available upon contest launch on Tuesday
afternoon, March 27 at http://www.landfortomorrow.org/hidden-treasures/

Entries will be judged by a panel of conservation champions from
across North Carolina, including representatives from Land for
Tomorrow's leading organizations.

Two winners will be chosen: one photograph and one illustration. Each
winner will receive a gift from Great Outdoor Provision Co.
