Calling all photographers! VLAWMO is holding its first photo competition, and we need your help!

The Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO) is seeking pictures of local lakes, parks, wildlife, plants, and outdoor recreation in one of four categories:
1. Nature & Landscapes
 These pictures include landscapes, outdoor scenes, nature images, flowers, sunsets, urban landscapes, lakescapes - to name a few.
These images showcase outdoor beauty.
