We invite all Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA) employees, guests, users, and visitors—and their children—to share inspiring images that capture the spirit of Earth Day (instructions below). This year we are conducting four exciting contests! The winners will be selected by a Lab-wide online vote. The top three vote-getters win prizes! Participants may submit one photo each for the general contest and for the "When Nature Takes Over" theme. However, only one prize per participant will be awarded. If a participant wins in both categories, we will contact the participant to see which they prefer.

BSA People's Choice
For employees, guests, users, and visitors. Submit your best photos.

BSA "When Nature Takes Over"
Get creative and submit your photo that embodies the theme “When Nature Takes Over”!

BSA Youth (18 and Under)
Children and grandchildren of Lab staff take beautiful photos, too!

BSA Youth "When Nature Takes Over"
Let your child or grandchild's imagination run wild and see what “When Nature Takes Over” means from their vantage.
Note: You must VPN into Brookhaven Lab's internal network or be on-site to submit contest entries.
