The Photo Challenge will showcase the biodiversity of Canadian Lakes and the impacts that can threaten them. The challenge is for participants to snap a single photo, with as many plants and animals as possible, OR an impactful photo displaying human threats to lake environments, and submit it to the contest. All flora and fauna must remain undisturbed. Winning photos will be selected based on biodiversity, impact, and a public favourite.

What do I do? Between May 21 & July 31, 2021, snap a photo of your lake that demonstrates its biodiversity OR that displays human threats to the lake environment .
