The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Western Region has launched the “Picture Climate Change'' student photo contest and is looking for images that showcase climate change in the western United States. This photo contest is a chance for students to showcase their climate change experience through the lens of a camera, and to provide a short written narrative. The narrative is meant to highlight the student’s climate change photo and provides the student a chance to add a short story about how the climate variability or change captured within their image has or will impact their local community and future.

Please help us spread the word about this contest so we can see and hear the voices of our nation’s students! Details are available - see the picture above! You can also click the link below.
