The amateur photo contest is held every August at the Goose Lake Prairie State Natural Area on Pine Bluff Road at Jugtown Road in east Grundy County. It is orchestrated by the Goose Lake Prairie Partners, Goose Lake Prairie State Natural Area staff, with a great deal of assistance from the Morris Camera Club. Photo entries are to depict the flora, fauna, and natural environment in the parks in the state of Illinois. Eighty-four prints were submitted on Sunday August 17, 2014. Participants were from Coal City, Ottawa, Morris, Kankakee, Channahon, Diamond, Lockport, Northbrook, Crest Hill and Braidwood. Morris Camera Club supplied the judges for the event. The judges were Denise Rogers, Brittany Benson, and Robert Englewood. Competition was high as there were many good prints. Photos were on display in the Visitors Center at Goose Lake Prairie State Natural Area off Pine Bluff Road near Morris, IL Saturday and Sunday August 23 - 24. This was the 8th year for the competition. We thank all the contestants for entering our contest. --Goose Lake Prairie Partners
