PICTURING NATURE: “The Lake,” by Pernilla Burke, was among the entries in the 2022 Friends of Princeton Open Space Photo Contest. The deadline to submit for this year’s contest is April 22.

The deadline to submit  photos for the Friends of Princeton Open Space’s (FOPOS) annual photo contest is midnight on Saturday, April 22.

FOPOS has made several changes to the contest rules designed to encourage people to spend more time outdoors capturing photos of nature in Princeton. The geographic range of the contest area has been extended to include the entire Greater Mountain Lakes Recreation Area, which is comprised of the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve, Mountain Lakes North/Coventry Farm Park, Community Park North, John Witherspoon Woods, Tusculum, and the boardwalk at Coventry Farm.

Photos for submission can be taken at any time of year during the past three years as long as they have not been submitted in a previous FOPOS photo contest.

Prizes are donated by sponsors at REI Princeton. Twenty photos from the submissions will be selected for FOPOS’ annual photo exhibition in late 2023. For more information and submission details, visit photos@fopos.org.
