Ohio Lake Erie Commission Seeking Submissions for
2021 Life on Lake Erie Photo Contest
The Ohio Lake Erie Commission (OLEC) is seeking submissions for the 29th Annual
Life on Lake Erie photo contest. The contest is an opportunity for amateur photographers to
showcase their talent for photographing one of Ohio’s most valuable natural resources – Lake
Erie.
“This annual contest is a great way to showcase the beauty of Ohio’s Lake Erie and the
talents of amateur photographers,” said OLEC Executive Director Joy Mulinex. “No matter the
season, the lake always is a wonderful place to enjoy the outdoors, providing a perfect
backdrop to capture breathtaking moments through the lens of a camera.”
The Life on Lake Erie photo contest is an opportunity for amateur photographers, at
least 18 years of age, to submit their favorite photos of Lake Erie and the surrounding
landscapes, boating, swimming, ice fishing, people, wildlife, and events that take place on and
around the lake.
The contest is open to amateur photographers’ original photos (taken between August
1, 2020, thru July 31, 2021) of Ohio’s Lake Erie watershed. Entry forms and official contest
rules can be found at the Commission’s website. All entries must be received by July 31,
2021.
Winning photographs may be displayed on the OLEC website and social media
platforms, may be used in Commission publications to promote Lake Erie, and for
photography-viewing tours throughout Ohio with Lake Erie partner organizations. Winning
photographs and photographers will be featured at the fall meeting of the Commission.
