Earth Day is celebrated each year on April 22nd. The official theme of Earth Day 2019 is ‘Protect Our Species.’ In honor of Earth Day, EcoWatch has kicked off a second photo contest. Show us what ‘Protect Our Species’ means to you. Maybe there’s a tree you’ve always loved, or perhaps it’s a photo of the bird you adore that always visits your yard. We’re excited to see what species means a lot to you. Capture a moment and send it our way!
Submit your photo to bautista@ecowatch.com with the subject line “ECOWATCH EARTH DAY PHOTO CONTEST” by April 15th for a chance to win a $250 Patagonia eGift Card and to have your photo appear on EcoWatch.com. To be considered, submit your photo with the following information:
- Name

Our judges will choose the winning photo and the winner will be announced on Earth Day, April 22nd. One submission per person.
