The Orange Audubon Society recently announced its 2009 (21st Annual) Kit & Sidney Chertok Nature Photography Contest. A primary goal of the contest is education aimed at fostering interest in Florida's (remaining) native species and natural areas. Participate in the contest and share your unique view of Florida's birds, wildlife and habitat. Deadline is May 21, 2009.

Not a photographer? At the very least, view the winners of the 2008 contest and keep an eye out for this year's winners.
