The Pennsylvania Resources Council will celebrate Earth Day on April 22 with its annual Lens on Litter Photo Contest.

The contest’s aim is not to glorify litter, but to call attention to the litter problem in communities across the commonwealth. Thousands of photos have been submitted over the years depicting litterbugs at work.

Pennsylvanians are asked to submit photos of unusual or unsightly examples of litter in their neighborhoods for a chance to win up to $500. Entries are judged on the criteria of anti-litter message, originality, photographic technique, quality of photo, originality of title and severity of the litter.

Questions may be directed to lensonlitter@prc.org and contest details, an online entry form as well as previous winning photos and current sponsors, can be found at https://prc.org/programs/projects/lens-litter/ .
