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. 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 "Close up Wonders" 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 "Close up Wonders"
Get creative and submit your photo that embodies the theme “Close up Wonders!”
BSA Youth (18 and Under)
Children and grandchildren of Lab staff take beautiful photos, too! Submit your child or grandchild's photo that best captures the spirit of Earth Day.
BSA Youth "Close up Wonders"
Let your child or grandchild's imagination run wild and see what "Close up Wonders" means from their vantage. Then capture that image for submission into the photo contest!
Categories and Voting
Now the time has come to vote on your favorite photos! You may vote for one photo in each of the four categories.
The link below will bring you to the Lab’s Flickr account to access four albums that represent the four categories of photos.

Announcement of Winners
