NPT Presents "Kids Love Nature" Photo Contest
Thursday, 27 March 2008

Middle Tennessee Kids Encouraged To Send In Their Best Nature Photo

WHO: Any child age 10-14 can enter with a parent’s or guardian's written permission.

WHAT: Nashville Public Television (NPT) and the PBS show NATURE want children in Middle Tennessee to turn their eyes toward the wonders of nature and send in their best Tennessee nature photograph. Examples include photos of wild animals; birds at feeders; butterflies in backyards; or close-up shots of an interesting bug or a unique flower. Dogs and cats are cute, but children are encouraged to focus their lenses on less-domestic animals (unless, of course, it’s a butterfly sitting on the tip of a dog’s nose). Great local places to capture nature include the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere and The Warner Park Nature Center.

 The Top 15 winning photographers will be invited to a private photo safari event
at the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere.

 

WHEN: Entries for the NPT’s “Kids Love NATURE” Photo Contest are being accepted now through March 31, 2008.

HOW:  Photos must be in .jpg format, placed on a CD labeled with child’s first name and last initial, phone # and e-mail address (e.g. John S. 615-555-1212, This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ) and mailed, along with a signed entry form to:

Nashville Public Television
161 Rains Avenue
Nashville, TN 37203
Attention: Education Department

Complete rules, and the entry form, are available http://www.wnpt.net.
