Ripple Effects Student Photo Contest & Workshop
- This event has passed.
- May 14 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm EDT
- The Falls of the Ohio State Park
Water is vital to life on Earth and our city is fortunate to be nestled along the mighty Ohio River, and close to beautiful streams and wetlands. But we also face frequent flooding and pollution is a threat to many of our waterways.
The Ripple Effects: Exploring Water in Louisville Photo Contest invites all K-12 students in the Louisville area to capture images of what water means to them. What is most beautiful about water in our community? What water-related problems do we need to address? How do we use, recreate in, and interact with water?
WORKSHOPS
Please join us for one (or more!) of the free workshops presented by local professional photographers explaining the Ripple Effects concept and contest. Workshops include a short indoor visual presentation covering the basics of photography, with examples and suggestions, followed by a walk outside to photograph the surroundings in early evening light before the sun sets. Bring your camera or phone.
