Entries due by May 1 for Dungeness photo contest

SEQUIM — Photographs will be accepted until May 1 for a contest celebrating the Dungeness River Management Team’s 25th anniversary.

Contest winners and their photographs will be presented and prizes awarded at a community celebration this summer to mark the team’s anniversary.

A specific date has not been set.

The contest will be sponsored by the Jamestown S’Klallam tribe, which is represented on the team.

First prize is $250, second prize is a $100 gift certificate for Northwest Native Expressions Art Gallery, and third prize is a $50 golf package at Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course.

Photos depicting the vision of the Dungeness Watershed as a home shared by forests, farms, fish and people are encouraged.

Each entry should include a description and where the photo was taken.

The team may use the photos, with proper credit, in publications, videos on its website and in other electronic media.

Photos can be emailed to Shawn Hines at shines@jamestowntribe.org.

The original team was formed in 1988 to help Clallam County create its 1990 flood-control management plan.

In 1995, via a joint resolution between Clallam County and the Jamestown S’Klallam tribe, the team focused on watershed and river restoration as well strategies to address competing interests affecting water supplies, in-stream flows, water quality, stream habitat and salmon recovery.
