The Friends of Council Grounds are once again sponsoring the 2024 Council Grounds State Park Annual Amateur Photo Contest. Submissions of photographs that were actually TAKEN within the boundaries of Council Grounds State Park between Aug. 1, 2022, and July 31, 2024 (a two-year period) are now being accepted and must be submitted by July 31, 2024, as full color, high resolution .jpeg files.
Complete rules and details for this year’s contest are available at https://councilgrounds.org/friends-of-council-grounds-state-park-annual-amateur-photography-contest/

The photo contest is divided into categories: Plants (wildflowers, trees, shrubs, fungi, etc.); Wildlife (includes animals, birds, insects, etc.); People Using the Park (do not include photos of easily identifiable people); and Landscapes (broad view scenes, sunsets, sunrises, river, etc.).
Each entrant may only submit one photo in the category of their choice.
First place winners in each category will receive a 2025 Wisconsin State Park vehicle sticker, and second place winners will receive Council Grounds merchandise or a gift certificate valued up to $15. Public voting to determine the winning photographs will take place by email between Aug. 15 and Sept. 15, 2024, and finalist photos will be available for viewing on the Friends of Council Grounds State Park Facebook page at that time, as well as at the actual Council Grounds State Park contact station and at the T.B. Scott Library.
Winners will be announced and notified in September 2024.
