 Amateur Photo Contest at 2007 Canon Envirothon : The Canon Envirothon is North America's largest high school environmental education competition. Teams battle for recognition and scholarships by demonstrating their knowledge of natural resources. They apply their training and problem-solving skills in five subject areas - soils, aquatics, forestry, wildlife, and a current environmental issue that changes each year. USA and Canadian student teams begin forming at the regional level, winners move on to the state/provincial event, and finally in late July, students participate in the Canon Envirothon, which is hosted by a different state or province each year. Any amateur photographer of any age can participate.

 Amateur Photo Contest
The proceeds from the Amateur Photo Contest will help provide supplement funding for the 2007 Canon Envirothon in Geneva, New York. For details about the Canon Envirothon visit the website at www.envirothon.org. Canon Envirothon is sponsored in partnership with the National Association of Conservation Districts, the U.S. Forest Service and other conservation agencies. Each year, more than 500,000 teenagers throughout North America embark on a year-long learning process that combines in-class curriculum with hands-on field experiences to demonstrate the role people have in important environmental issues. It promotes environmental education through the development of knowledgeable, skilled and dedicated citizens who are willing to work together toward achieving and maintaining a natural balance between the quality of life and the quality of the environment.

The Canon Envirothon is an annual competition in which winning state/provincial teams compete for recognition and scholarships by demonstrating their knowledge of environmental science and natural resource management. The teams, each consisting of five high school-aged students from participating US States and Canadian Provinces, exercise their training and problem-solving skills in a competition centered on four universal testing categories (i.e., soils/land use, aquatic ecology, forestry, and wildlife) and a current environmental issue.
