Enter the 2014 Photo Contest

Posted on April 2, 2014 by Hillary T.

It’s one of our favorite times of the year! The 2014 Picture This Photo Contest has officially begun.

As in the past years, we’re looking for great shots taken in Massachusetts that celebrate the great outdoors: birds, mammals, and insects; landscapes; native plants, flowers, and fungi; and people enjoying nature of course!

The contest is open to everyone of all ages and abilities. Doesn’t matter if your using a smart phone, point-and-shoot, or SLR, we want to see your best shots. And this year, we’ve updated the entry process, making it easy to enter from any device.

The contest runs April 1 to September 30. Find everything you need to know about how and what to enter or get inspiration from the 2013 winners. And be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, where each month we will highlight some of the entries. Until then, happy snapping!

Our Lead is Shrinking!

Barn Swallows copyrigh Richard JohnsonThe Boston Globe has extended the deadline to April 1 for their GRANT (Globe Readers and Nonprofits Together) program. The nonprofits with the highest voucher dollars awarded will win much needed free advertising in the Globe.

Because of our loyal members and supporters, we have remained on top of the leaderboard for some time. But, there are still two weeks to go, and our lead is shrinking.

If you are a Boston Globe subscriber (print or digital) or know someone who is, you can help us stay at the top!

How to Help

Option 1: If you received a silver envelope that says “Gift voucher for your favorite nonprofit enclosed” pull out the voucher and write Mass Audubon, 208 South Great Road, Lincoln, Massachusetts, 01773. Mail the check back to The Boston Globe using the envelope provided by April 1.

Option 2: Didn’t get the envelope? No problem. Just email [email protected], write that you are a Globe subscriber (you may need to provide your billing address) and you want your voucher dollars to go to Mass Audubon, 208 South Great Road, Lincoln, Massachusetts, 01773.

Option 3: Already did Option 1 or 2? Spread the word by sharing this post with your family and friends.

Why Choose Mass Audubon?

By designating us as your preferred nonprofit, you can help us spread the word about the vital work we are doing in the fields of:

  • Land conservation (for people and wildlife to enjoy)
  • Wildlife protection (relocating snowy owls, tracking monarchs, creating habitat for spadefoot toads)
  • Nature education (kids playing outside while learning at the same time)
  • Environmental advocacy (protecting endangered species, planning sustainable development)
  • And more!

Thank you for considering us!
