Contest: My Piece of America Photo Contest

Sierra Club has launched the My Piece of America photo contest, giving outdoor advocates from around the country to show off their photography skills while supporting efforts to protect our wild places. As they were when John Muir founded the Sierra Club in 1892, many of our most cherished public lands are now under threat – this time from oil, gas, and coal companies that would rather turn a profit off of exploiting our landscapes than make a memory. They've had some responses on their website and on instagram, but are looking to get in great entries from all over the country. Theywelcome contributions from photographers young, old, and in between and are taking submissions of photos of all public lands while giving extra credit to those special places we are working to protect. All entries will be judged by a panel of photographers, Sierra Club staff and volunteers, and the winner will be featured across the Sierra Club's online presence that reaches our 2.1 million members and supporters (on our home page, on our Magazine's website, across our email list, featured as a "Daily Ray of Hope," onsocial media, etc.).
