The Snoqualmie Watershed Forum is looking for photos that capture the beauty andspecial character of the Snoqualmie Valley. The winning photo(s) will be used in a poster promoting the watershed later this year.

What do you love most about the Snoqualmie Valley? Is it the river, the forests, the people, the farms, the fish or the mountains? Or is it something entirely different? Whatever it is, grab your camera and capture the image that means the Snoqualmie Valley to you.

The deadline for entries is 4:30 p.m., June 29.

The contest is open to all residents of Carnation, Duvall, Fall City, North Bend, Preston, Snoqualmie, Skykomish, and the unincorporated King County portion of the Snoqualmie Watershed.

Snoqualmie Watershed Forum members, employees, and their immediate families are not eligible. No submissions from professional photographers, please.

The contest is sponsored by the Snoqualmie Watershed Forum, which has provided leadership since 1998 in working toward a healthy watershed for salmon, farms, forests, and urban and rural communities.

Comprised of four cities, the Snoqualmie Tribe, King County, interested citizens and non-profits, the Snoqualmie Watershed Forum operates in harmony with the culture and community needs of the Snoqualmie Valley. More information, including a map that depicts the watershed’s boundaries, is available at http://www.govlink.org/watersheds/7.
